Sundance Film Festival 2006

I just got back from the 2006 Sundance Film festival in Park City, Utah. I was out there promoting a film in the festival that I shot called "Beyond Beats and Rhymes" which was directed by Byron Hurt and produced by Sabrina Gordon. The film did extremely well, drumming up lots of buzz and press. It was sold out every night and received numerous standing ovations. Congrats Byron! Unfortunately, it was in a category called "Spectrum" which disqualified it from winning any awards (including cinematography!) but it was a great experience anyway. Here are links to some the media coverage and a few photos from the festival. "Beyond Beats and Rhymes" will air on PBS and be screened at other locations, but no dates have been locked in yet. Be sure to check back. Enjoy!

Cool, Bill! Sundance was a good time...I just checked out your resume and for some reason, I keep forgetting you went to NYU too. NYU had a party out at Sundance, to which I was invited because I'm an alum. I could have told them our DP is also an NYU alum...oh well...the party was before you arrived, but I would have liked for them to know. They requested a screening, so if it happens I'll be sure that they know that Tisch's A-No.1 student was our brilliant Director of Photography!
