As technology moves relentlessly forward, the smart phone has become an everyday item for the general populous, and with it social networks have continued to grow with explosive propensity. For massive events like film festivals, Twitter has become the go-to info stream for up to the second updates on who, what, and where things are happening around town, and of course has become an instant method in which to gauge a film’s popularity/critical reception. We’ve collected a list of Twitter accounts from the filmmakers, actors and folks behind the scenes in the U.S. Drama/Doc Comps, Premiere categories and NEXT section. Click on the twitter accounts (below) to follow folks such as Christine Vachon, Mike Birbiglia, the Tim and Eric guys for some lively feeds where the secrets of Park City will be revealed. And don’t forget to follow the IONCINEMA.com team @ioncinema — Nicholas Bell (NB), Eric Lavallee (EL) and myself, Jordan Smith (JS) will be tweeting from this channel.
