Drunk History: Douglass and Lincoln won the Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking at Sundance this year. Here are a few others in the series for your tipsy entertainment. I’m impatiently waiting to see the Drunk History on Tesla. I wrote my Masters thesis on that crazy, brilliant guy!

Please forgive my duplicate-blogging. I put this on the Festival Focus blog but I can’t resist adding it here too since Obama played such a large role in this year’s Sundance for me. The film was made by my wonderful condo mates Shooting People’s Jesse Epstein and Chicken & Egg Pictures’ Natalie Difford with music by Force Theory.

Sundance drank my milkshake this year (sorry, can’t stop doing that). I had a few fun, incredibly busy days and then whammo! I was struck down with a weird flu bug that made my lungs feel like they were full of little needles. So this is an apology for my lack of blogging – Jesse has been a trooper and you can read lots from her on Festival Focus. I saw a few wonderful films and still have some interviews to post up so please stay tuned.

I just arrived in Park City and have done the necessary grocery schlep to Albertsons to stock up on essentials (oranges so I don’t get scurvy, beer so I don’t get sober, Airborne so I don’t die). I’m now combing through all the films and starting to get really excited about the days ahead.

Jesse Epstein and I will be blogging over at the Shooting People Festival Focus blog so please follow all our adventures there.
