Brooklyn, NY – Express Shuttle took Peter and I from Park City to the airport. As the van wound down the mountains, I felt something that I assume a lot of people feel: Next year, I want to come back with an Official Selection for Sundance 2014. This series of blogs is actually part of that long process. It represents the ‘soft launch’ of my new website – EGGWORK.COM. My goal is to build an audience for my work. I encourage you to submit your E-mail or connect through social media (see above), & keep coming back to the site. The simple (& free) act of commenting below, “Liking”, Tweeting, or subscribing goes along way. Thanks, Matt P.S. I never went skiing.
1:50 PM – High West Whiskey & Saloon Back to the distribution lecture (#ArtistServices). Yes, it’s at a whiskey factory, but they’re only serving lemonade. Hard to focus on a power point presentation while full of rye. However, I did take a break to see my first film at Sundance (on my 4th and final day here). It’s called Emanuel And The Truth About Fishes. It’s a haunting drama with Alfred Molina and Jessica Beal. It was produced by MRB Productions, a forward thinking company who are doing amazing work.
7:35 AM – Westgate Shuttle All right, the title for today is a little dramatic, but it’s cold and I have zero coffee in me. Zero. Big thanks to Tim, Rich, & Nora from the NY Film Office for a lovely dinner last night. We had three tables of Western New York film folks at Red Stone Brewery. Good times.
12:19 PM – Sundance Filmmakers Lounge Full disclosure. I don’t have a film in the festival…this year. I have in the pass & that gets you a laminate. That allows you access places like the Filmmaker Lodge and, better yet, the ASCAP Music Cafe where I’ll get to see Sea Wolf. OMG! They’re playing You’re A Wolf by Sea Wolf as I type this. Dig. But here’s a not-so-secret secret: You can buy a pass. My friend Peter went through the process and scored us two passes. So if you do decide to attend the festival, I recommend doing the same. It’s a much better experience. 11:09 AM – Condo Pete is watching the Sabers. I just watched Clint Dempsey score an extra time goal for the Spurs to tie the game with Manchester United. And there’s some American football games on apparently. I guess. I just can’t find any cable sports shows that are previewing the NFL games at all. SARCASM! As you can imagine, it’s hard to keep wandering around in these high altitudes day after day without getting tired. I know, stop whining. Onwards and upwards! So here’s something funny from yesterday. I was in the HitRecord.com room and Joseph Gordon-Levitt walked in with his camera rolling. I didn’t think much of it at the time as I was too busy trying to be a sophisticated New Yorker and pretend to ignore the famous person in the room. I failed. I couldn’t help take a picture of my friends Chris & Peter, knowing full well that Mr. Levitt was in the background.
Here’s the funny part. Mr. Levitt captured me in the background during his filming. HEY! I never signed a release! Here’s a link to the video:http://www.hitrecord.org/records/1115070 4:10 PM – Sundance Filmmakers Lounge Holy crap! You never know who you will bump into at Sundance. I had the pleasure of meeting, Jeff Dowd – the real life inspiration for “The Dude” from The Big Lebowski. He invited me to a concert Monday featuring Jonathan Batiste. If you’re in town it’s at 573 Main Street at The New York Lounge (http://jonathanbatiste.com). See you & “The Dude” at the show…man.
11:18 AM – New York Film Coffee Clutch NY in the house! Good lecture on post production. Much thanks to Nora and the rest of the NY Film Office team for the complementary bagels and coffee. Fuel good.
10:43 AM – Yellow Shuttle Bus It’s packed in here. How much ironic facial hair & arty glasses can one bus hold? In addition to Sundance it’s a holiday weekend, so the town is packed.
