Primer dia. Comienza el frio.

Hola-Hello
This will be a spanglish blog. Sometimes it will be in english and sometimes in spanish. Todo depende del estado de animo. Del cansancio del dia y del estado mental.
Today -- first day of the festival. We were up till 3 am and waking up at 4 am. I drove to Oakland airport to drop my girlfriend and drive back to SFO airport to fly Delta (sponsor) to Salt Lake city. We arrive in a cold SLC. My second time here. First one in 1999. I did even know where I was. I fall in love immediately. And really enjoy the festival. Walking to my condo in Park city at 3 am in the morning, happy to be here and not feeling cold at all. But that was 7 years ago. Another story. NOW.....the city is bigger and the festival seems different. We will see the diferences through these ten days.
OK, this is my first blog, so you reader be patient. Sooooooooo....we arrive at the airport, went to try to get our beautiful rent house, thanks to the producers (gracias) but we were not able to get the place till 4 pm, so we went to the famous Festival House, we wait, register, wait, meet the people from the emails, Pablo Godoy was one of them, from the emails to the faces. Always strange to fit writing with faces. We meet Caroline Libresco, this great and nice person that loves our film, wrote a beautiful review and was pivotal to have this film here in Sundance.
We meet in the house. Big and warm. We are 11 people in this tour. A football team, with some reserves, good in this year of World Cup.
We went to the opening party, Sara the brasilian producer, Yissel the mexican producer, Alice Braga our beautiful actress and some friends and investors, so we get there, the food evaporates like body heat in this cold. They put on you a wrist band with 2 drinks that evaporate soon too.
There was a band, lots of people walking and watching, everybody looking, steaming, women holding their looks on you. Smiles and flirt. Our actor (and also one of our executive producers) Diego Luna called us to say hi and that he was here.
The party finished soon. There was a movie. We were tired and came here to get warm, it's really cold outside, beautiful to see this place dressed in white. All around you, the ugly architecture thankfully covered by the snow. It is very functional for this weather but not so much aesthetic involved.
We get back in the house. Is late. We have a beer. The brasilians are tired (jet lag), the mexicans ready for the action (already surfing the cold in wave of tequila), and the north-americans getting ready for more action.
And tomorrow is a long day. We will have a camera from Sundance Channel following us and lots of photo shoots and some interviews.

And ttataaaaaaatanannnnnnnnnn OUR WORLD PREMIERE, SOLO DIOS SABE will have its first test with the Audience....
OK, welcome everybody....we will see what to expect here...
