Author Topic: Sundance James Pope Film Handler Posts: 31 From: world wide web, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 02-03-2004 11:08 PM                        I recently joined the ranks of rocky mountain cinemas newest project the redstone 8 in park city, utah we are scheduled to play sundance next year, I was just wondering if anybody had any dealings with sundance projectionist or reps before. ive heard a few things from the park city people but I wanted to see if there were any encounters anybody had with them and what to expect.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-03-2004 11:12 PM                     You will need at least 10 before you report to work to project every day. Then another 10 during the projection day and then at least another 10 before you could even consider getting behind the wheel of your car to drive back down Parleys! Hehehe...have fun!

But their bowing down to "THE CHURCH" has totally turned me against it. What a bunch of hypocrites! Fuck 'em! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-04-2004 07:17 AM                        Don't they run everything off 12000' reels with double-MUTs? Sounds like a real pain for a festival, since you get all the worst "features" of platter and changeover operation: leaders still need to be cut and prints need to be made up, but films still have to be rewound after each show. I guess that method works well for their purposes; otherwise, they would presumably go either all-platter or all-changeover. Remember to send in pics of the theatre (including shots of the construction process) and of the Sundance activities.  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.

Last year's Cremaster 3 was on two reels. At the Cinemark Holiday Village 4, the platter decks are removed and the platters moved aside to allow room for the Eprad Double MUTs. Most of the Sundance venues are not operating cinemas, but temporary installations.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-04-2004 10:07 PM                     "Bowing down to the church" ?????? I certainly see little if any of that in what they do or run there or anyplace else around here for that matter. What gets run around here is pretty much what you'd see in any other big city.

Sorry, but I've done work for them AND they do make everything a holy war and reaffirm that it is THEIR town. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged James Pope Film Handler Posts: 31 From: world wide web, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 02-11-2004 12:22 AM                        i am not wanting to become a projectionist at sundance I'll will have but I will have them in my booth next year and was wondering what to expect from them like if im even allowed to touch any of my equptiment they are using during the two weeks and things like that  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 02-11-2004 11:46 AM                        Is "the church" a metaphor or are you referring to a specific religious group? If you mean the latter (no pun intended) then I really can't see the link between church and Sundance you're talking about. Park City might as well be in another state when it comes to religion.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-11-2004 06:47 PM                     Greg is absolutely right about this one. Phil musta worked the first day of the first Sundance that was ever held. I agree with you about Park City practically being its own state. Mark @ CLACO  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-11-2004 07:10 PM                  I was not referring to the festival when I said I worked for "them". And I agree, Park City/Sundance SHOULD be in a different city/state. Nuff said without getting into a religious discussion. Mark, if you want, I'll lay it out to you when I see you. This ain't the place... or actually worth it. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-11-2004 07:19 PM                    Why move the platters for the Mutts. When I used to use the Double mutt I could use the rollers on the platters to get the film to and from the projector. OF course I don't know how much room is available in that booth so they may not of had that option.  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 02-11-2004 09:47 PM                        Cryptic, unspecified allegations about a church? Unfortunate experiences with members of said church? You stated a sweeping condemnation against "them" and now you won't even say what your beef is. Indeed, this isn't the place for any of that.  |  IP: Logged
