As I suspected, Sundance 2010 was a fantastic fest for docs! While it's always a strong program, this year the non-fiction offerings were unusually spectacular. Some of my faves included CATFISH, WAITING FOR SUPERMAN and 12TH & DELAWARE. And of course, it was a blast connecting with friends old and new at events and parties. For all the dirty details, check out my daily postings from the fest on the IDA's NEWS ON THE DOC blog.
Just prior to Sundance, I spent the weekend in North Carolina at Science Online 2010, an event which explored all things related to science and the web. Met some amazing people, learned some amazing things. For an overview of the event and my panel, Science & Entertainment, you can read my post on ScienceLush.com. I'll continue to post observations from the Conference thoughout the next several weeks.
My next adventure: getting ready to cover the Oscars. I'm checking out the nominees I haven't seen yet (finally made it to AVATAR), and making my list of favorites. Much as I admire the scope and vision of the storytelling in AVATAR, I gotta admit, I'd love to see Bigelow take home the statue for "Best Director" for THE HURT LOCKER. Gotta support the ladies!! Plus, it's an incredible movie. But no matter who wins, I'll have a good time...there's nothing like puttin' on a purty dress and going to the ball :)
Oh - one last thing - the IFC special on the 2010 Spirit Awards that I co-produced is now running on IFC throughout the month. The special celebrates the 25th anniversary fo the Awards with interviews from past winners such as Jason Reitman, Marc Forster and Laura San Giacomo, and current nominees including Jeff Bridges and Scott Cooper. You can find the schedule here.
