Adrian Grenier enjoys anonymity on empty slopes at Sundance
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 01/27/2015 - 7:55am
Three ski resorts loom over Park City, and while most out-of-towners are holed up in movie theaters catching the Sundance offerings, local residents and the savviest visitors —including Grenier — are out in the snow, catching some wide-open runs. "Everyone's so caught up in the movies and the dinners and the parties and the gifting suites that I think the nature that surrounds the event — the snowboarding, the skiing — is kind of an afterthought," said Shaun Neff, founder of Neff active wear. Neff sponsored his namesake terrain park as a tribute to the mountain where he built his brand, and continues to support aspiring snowboarders during the Sundance festival. Besides outfitting performers with snow-ready clothes and hats, he also invites celebrities to learn to ride with his team of professional boarders.

What to watch for at the Sundance Film Festival
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Tuesday - 01/20/2015 - 08:45 PM
Celebrating its 31st year, the festival has steadily outgrown its indie-film roots to showcase emerging and established talent in art, music, television, film and new media. All kinds of installations pop up during the 10-day event to lure movie lovers and the Hollywood crowd, from Sundance-sponsored panel discussions to concerts, parties, dinners, gift suites, even camera and car showrooms. (Watch on the Sundance website.) Another special program, "Misery Loves Comedy," features comics and filmmakers weighing in on whether feeling blue is a prerequisite for being funny. There's Slamdance, a film festival that runs concurrently during Sundance that focuses on experimental approaches and emerging talent. Major media outlets (including The Associated Press) station photo and video studios near the temporary lounges set up to welcome the stars. If skiing at one of the nearby resorts isn't enough, festival-goers can get some exercise on the indoor rock wall at the Eddie Bauer Adventure House or at the pop-up Pure Barre studio, which is set to present more than a dozen of its body-shaping fitness classes during the first weekend of Sundance. Noah Baumbach's latest, Mistress America; a drama starring Sarah Silverman called I Smile Back; Kirby Dick's documentary about campus rape, The Hunting Ground; Leslye Headland's new comedy, Sleeping With Other People; Jack Black's Sundance return in The D Train; the premiere of Alex Gibney's documentary Going Clear:

Sundance Watch: Quinto and Franco's easy chemistry
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Sunday - 01/25/2015 - 05:23 PM
The film, which premiered Saturday at the Sundance Film Festival, is a sensitive, complicated and provocative story about a prominent gay activist who, in just a few years, denounces his homosexuality. Justin Kelly's film opens with a buttoned-up Michael telling a terrified young man that homosexuality is immoral, before abruptly jumping back in time to show Michael in his activist days (and, in fact, at a raucous rave, where Franco says he was almost blinded by green glitter). The two have an easy, intimate and wholly lived-in chemistry when portraying Michael and Bennett as a happy couple. [] the actors, who look so comfortable together on screen weren't even acquaintances in real life prior to the film.
