A couple of prepped Sundance deals were announced including Zeitgeist Films‘ pick up of Canadian doc Up the Yangtze (read our interview with the film’s director:Yung Chang) and the first cool poster to emerge and worth mentioning is Dimension Film’s Hell Ride (I’m sure Quentin Tarantino’s involvement trickles down into the poster artwork development (see it here). For people not attending the fest – the coolest online feature is (launched today) Sundance film festival’s online showing of the short films being showcased in Park City (head over there now!). Great piece of news for Lance Hammer’s The Ballast – it will continue its festival life being accepted into the prestigious Berlin Film Festival (along with Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind – this is the fest’s closing feature). And finally, everyone’s favorite Variety read in January is: the top 10 filmmakers to watch for.
