Well, I've been invited to "blog" on indiewire.com and I'm not even sure if I'm doing this correctly. My name is Tom Hines and my film "Chronic Town" is playing in the Spectrum category, starting with our first screening on Saturday (5:30 pm at the Library). Right now, my wife Lauri LaBeau (Produced and acts in "Chronic") and I are scrambling to get ready in our apartment in Studio City, CA. We can't wait to get to Park City tomorrow b/c then that will mean that we can finally stop "getting ready". Chiropractor for me, baby doctor for Lauri (who is 5 months pregnant) and suitcases to pack. We shot the film in Fairbanks, Alaska, so we're hoping that we'll be able to hack the cold at Sundance. We've also got some friends and crew that helped with the film coming all the way from Alaska to be a part of our group. They'll be the ones in t-shirts saying to all of us "This isn't cold..." They should know - on one day in Fairbanks, we hit 50 below on one of our Exterior shoots... that was cold. Check out our movie trailer at www.chronictownthemovie.com - This site was designed by my good friend Heming Nelson who also created our CHRONIC TOWN license plate logo. He has a company in Washington D.C. called 4Site Interactive and he also did our EPK and behind-the-scenes while we were in AK. I hope I did this right...
