One of the greatest things about being photographers is getting to know so many interesting people on a personal level.\u00a0 When we heard that our client, Marla Byrnes, West Hartford realtor<\/a> — and huge movie fan — was off to the 2010 Sundance Film Festival<\/a> in Park City, Utah for the ultimate girls movie week, we had to learn more!<\/p>\n

“Fantasy camp for movie lovers” is how Marla characterized her trip in which she and two girlfriends took in 25 movies (wow!)<\/p>\n

Sundance is the world’s largest independent film festival, although many films feature big name stars and directors.\u00a0 These industry folk are very accessible–audience members and\u00a0 actors and directors engage in “Talk Backs”
\nafter each movie, and movie goers cast votes from their seats.\u00a0 Marla got a chance to chat with Mark Ruffalo about his directorial debut in Sympathy for Delicious<\/em><\/a> while he was walking the streets of Park City.<\/p>\n

Park City, unlike Hollywood, is more like the real West…where jeans, boots and parkas predominate.\u00a0 There’s great skiiing right in town.\u00a0 But who has time for that….we have to see some more movies : }<\/p>\n

OK, here are Marla’s Picks:\u00a0 Happythankyoumoreplease<\/a> (People’s Choice Award winner), Winter’s Bone<\/a> (the overall Sundance winner), Get Low<\/a> with Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray, Teenage Paparazzo<\/a> with Adrian Grenier from Entourage, and Company Men<\/a> with Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper and Kevin Costner.<\/p>\n

Thanks Marla for sharing your cinematic story–Jane has already proposed a trip to Sundance to her high school girlfriends!<\/p>\n
