Slush, snow, and solitude: New York Times does Sundance

Published on March 24, 2008

At this point in time, many of us in the Northern part of the hemisphere want to do away with the slush, snow, drizzle and cough drop season. The good folks from The New York Times “T” Magazine are reminding us of the least appealing feature of the Sundance film festival: the cold.

Unknown filmmaker Brody Baker was given access to a slew of stars including Josh Hartnett, Lukas Haas, Josh Lucas, Michael Pitt, Brady Corbett and Saffron Burrows (featured above).

The batch of 12-episode films are slowing being unveiled (one per day). While they are of zero interest invididually, I’ll wait till the entire set is available and make up my mind whether it is something worth mentioning here on this site in another positing.
