My brother has been going down to Park City for the past few years to volunteer at Sundance. That's why this article grabbed my eye this morning, while perusing the Herald online with my cuppa tea.
NEW YORK (AP) - The Sundance Film Festival is too intense for Robert Redford, who says he wasn’t around for all of it this year.
"To the outside world, it’s a big fat market where you have people like Paris Hilton going to parties. Now, she doesn’t have anything to do with anything. I think the festival is close to being out of control," the festival’s creator told Newsweek.
This month, Redford can be heard providing commentary on a two-disc edition of the remastered DVD for All the President’s Men.
When asked if his "movie-star-ness" kept him from being taken seriously, he said it was difficult.
"You work hard to move away from it, and you’re only partly successful. If I go up there to speak about an issue, they’re playing The Sting.""
