Sundance Journal: Day 7

Date:

Luxury Items

The most sought after bling at this festival are items I would normally take for granted. First luxury item is sleep. At the beginning of a festival you want to remain faithful to some sort of crazy viewing list you thought would be feasible. You make a couple of promises to publicists and filmmakers that you’ll catch their work. Well staying out at parties and spending your days in darkness for 10 hours a time means that the energy supply will be lacking towards the end. Getting enough ZZZZ’s and skipping out on a film or two is necessary. Next up Water. Your high up in the mountains and nature screws with your system. Fluids are a must.
Warm socks. Yes warm socks to replace the other pair that you wore and that are now wet. Going to Sundance for 10 days – double up – make it 20 pairs. No joke.
