Sundance Cinema

I decided to return to this theater and experience it more fully! So today I decided to see the flick About Time that dealt with time travel and reviews said it was a very heartwarming film. It sounded right up my alley.

This type of cinema--Sundance- was a dream of actor /film maker and founder of Sundance Institure Robert Redford. His Institure was founded to help out the independent film maker. He said:

“I began to think, ‘Why couldn’t we take this concept and take it into a theater?’ ” remembered Redford. “Why not go into a space and work with the local community, so local artists would have a space to have their work shown, a bar, a restaurant, a place where people could gather around the films, mix up (independent films) with mainstream films. That concept was in opposition to what I could see happening — these multiplexes with 20 screens and thin walls, taking the experience down.”

I think they've done an excellent job with this cinema and today I enjoyed the film while dining with my vegan wrap and complimentary water :). I had a nice wee table to set the basket of food on. The film did not disappoint at all. A pleasant day of escape while Big R enjoys his escape with son's family in Portland. Tonight he and son are going to the Ben Harper concert there. Tonight I'm chilling out at home with the hooligans.
