Today, Park City, Utah, was bustling with activity as the last minute, venue preparations were being undertaken at the Ray Theatre and the Marc Theatre for the opening of the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. The volunteers seemed to have it all under control with a comment that this year’s finishing touches were ahead of the previous year’s last minute sprint to the finish line. I cannot argue!

In addition, festival headquarters imitated a candy machine as press, artists and crews dropped their signatures onto the rosters and were given their just rewards of passes, badges and tags designating each to his/her respective role.
