OFF THE GRID | Slamdance Update #2

The second screening of our film "Off the Grid: Life on the Mesa" was on Monday. We weren't as nervous as the first time, and it went great. People seem to really be responding to the film the way we hoped they would, so we're very happy about it.

Since then, it's been a constant stream of parties! Looking back our favorite party was definitely the Discovery Docs party. We got our picture taken with Buzz Aldrin. Best celebrity sighting in Park City! Buzz Aldrin went to the moon! What did you do?

At the Discovery Channel party, we were introduced and assaulted by a guy named Jeff Dowd, who it turns out is "The Dude" from The Big Lebowski. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of him, but he's amazing looking. He's really tall with a huge wild styled grey afro...It complemented our crazy hair, so we had to talk to him and man did he preach us the gospel! We stood mesmerized as he told us that no Sundance film is great this year because if it were, everyone would have heard of it already. We felt like Jeff was the leader of a new underground film cult and we were willing to give everything up to run away and join it! Anyway, we won't go into the particulars of the conversation, but let's just say this man has balls! And he's really, really smart and compelling. He needs to write a manifesto, if he hasn't already. There's a fine line between brilliant and insane, and this man walks it every day-- and he makes you want to come up on the tightrope and join him!

2007 is definitely the year of the beautiful bald people. We met another two! Josh Soskin from Current, and Steven Bognar. Steven and his wife Julia Reichert are the directors of "A Lion in the House", a brilliant epic documentary from Sundance 2006, Steven's beautiful bald head is the latest reason why we think we should change the name of these festivals to "Alopecia-dance" in 2008! Keep rocking those beautiful bald heads, friends!
