A truly “cool” job!

Another year, another Sundance Film Festival and once more the opportunity to volunteering on behalf of our beloved Park City Film Series… We sign up for a nine consecutive day assignment that keeps us from 7 to 10 am inside… a tent. With 5 degree Fahrenheit temperature in the morning, needless to say that the tent is quite a “cool” place when we get there at 6:45 am to carry-out our assignment. Fortunately, we’re tough and have already started our day at 5 am with our daily morning jog with our headlamps on; we must be preloaded with anti-freeze and we’ve managed to survive mostly thanks to caffeine overload! With the economic crisis, the crowds are thinner this year or perhaps visitors have so much fun at night that they can’t get up in the morning to catch the early show, this is also why we haven’t seen any big Hollywood name yet, but these folks are no early risers either. At any rate, we manage to keep our spirit highs and display a terrific attitude. This festival sure is one of the great perks of living in Park City!
