For the most part, many of the films I caught at this year's Sundance film fest will find their way at your local art house theatre. Here is the complete sampling of how I spent my time in Park City.

Offscreen is the third feature film from award-winning Denmark-native filmmaker Christoffer Boe (Reconstruction, Allegro) that screened as part of the New Frontier program last week at Sundance. It stars Nicholas Bro, an stage and screen actor, as himself. As his relationship with his girlfriend Lene dissolves, Bro borrows a camera from director Boe with the intention of filming a love story starring Lene and himself as their loves grows together again. What he ends up capturing on camera is his own mental and emotional breakdown as Lene flees to Berlin, and he develops a serious psychological dependency on the camera and falls into a downward spiral of obsession, alienation, and self-destruction.

Further proof that Slamdance is no longer just a fest vying for attention, TH!NKFilm has bought worldwide rights to the comedy by first time director Henry Pincus.

Smiley Face is director Gregg Araki’s follow up to his critically acclaimed Mysterious Skin, a stoner-comedy starring Anna Faris (Waiting, Lost in Translation, My Super Ex-Girlfriend) as Jane, whose day turns into a series of misadventures when she unwittingly devours a batch of marijuana cupcakes.

Screened at Sundance as part of the Park City at Midnight program, director Andrew Currie’s Fido is set in the idyllic suburban town of Willard, frozen in the style and sensibilities of 1950’s America, and overrun with zombies – but relax, the walking dead have been domesticated thanks to a nifty zombie-control collar manufactured by the good people at ZomCom!
