So, we’ve gone and become ultra cool, hip, and sexy all of a sudden. After despairing of finding any cool post-screening hangouts in the Yonge-College neighbourhood where our fantastic venue the Carlton is located, we have been blessed by a bit of serendipity. It turns out that I have a friend who has a friend […]

Sundance 2016: Day 13
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival from January 19th to 31st. Festival Day 11 I’d been starting to feel reasonably human last night and that was fortunate since we were being tossed out of our lodgings at 10:00am this morning. Joel and Eric and I crammed our stuff into […]
Sundance 2016: Day 12
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival from January 19th to 31st. Festival Day 10 This will be a weird entry. I tossed and turned all night, feeling ever sicker. I had the scariest fever dreams, and when I “woke” at 10:30am, I realized I’d be too sick to work […]
Sundance 2016: Day 11
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival from January 19th to 31st. Festival Day 9 We’re in the home stretch now.

It featured the DANIELS (Daniel Kwon and […]
Sundance 2016: Day 9
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival from January 19th to 31st. Festival Day 7 I got to sleep in until almost 9:00am this morning, and surprisingly had no hint of a hangover. My Film Office shift was 10:30am until 4:00pm, and there were a few small crises to sort […]
Sundance 2016: Day 8
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival from January 19th to 31st. Festival Day 6 Another 8:00am to noon shift in the Film Office this morning. Then Jackie and I checked out local restaurant the Grub Steak, where we used our volunteer “grub stubs” to enjoy the salad bar lunch. […]
Sundance 2016: Day 7
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival from January 19th to 31st. Festival Day 5 Forgot to set my alarm last night and was just lucky to wake up at 6:20am on my own. I was definitely a little worse for wear this morning at the Film Office. My shift […]
Sundance 2016: Day 6
Director of Programming James McNally is attending this year’s Sundance Film Festival from January 19th to 31st. Festival Day 4 Our last day of shorts program premieres today. I had to be in at HQ before 8:00am, though, to take care of a ticket request for one of our film teams. Then it was up […]
