For 10 days out of the year, celebs brave the cold of Park City, Utah, and converge on the quaint little ski town for the Sundance Film Festival. We took our crew last weekend to cover the events, which we've done before, but it seems every year the festival grows exponentially. There's not enough time in the day to cover all the events, parties, gifting suites and concerts that take place, not to mention find time to see one of the films lucky enough to hold their premieres.
We got to spend some time with notable people throughout the course of our trip. It's not just actors and actresses that you recognize on the streets. The town fills up with musicians, sports stars and other industry VIPs to talk business in the snow. When nighttime hits, though, Main Street turns into a giant party. Places like the House of Hype brought in some great talent for concerts "" John Legend and The Roots played together one night and Robin Thicke put on a great show the next. Several stars of the films were gracious enough to talk with us about the nature (and fun) that is making an independent feature, others were more inclined to talk about all the free swag they'll walk away with. You never know who you'll see out-and-about. One random run-in was with Phoenix Suns' star Steve Nash. Steve was in town to play the Utah Jazz and we met up with him at a lounge where he was watching the NFL playoff games. We had a lot of fun catching up as he talked to us about his vitaminwater commercials that are virally popular and undeniably hilarious. Check out one of them below:
Now check out our interview with the NBA star and don't miss our other Sundance coverage HERE. As you can tell, it was yet another successful Sundance.
