The extremely UNOFFICIAL Guide to Sundance 2006

So, I went and made a GUIDE...
The extremely UNOFFICIAL Guide to Sundance 2006!
The guide is to serve to educate independent film makers on who is doing what in the world of independent movies. It all came about after going to an IFP Panel entitled "Show and Sell: How to Position your film for festivals, press and buyers." The panelists all had one piece of advice they all agreed on... making your movie is half your job. The other half is knowing what to do with it when it's done. Who makes the deals? What distributor likes docs? Who is a reputable sales agent? How much did "Little Miss Sunshine" go for? How do they want to be pitched? What kind of release does Lionsgate typically do?
Well folks, no one place puts all the information together (trust me, I looked!)... so I tried to.
I'll keep updating it as I find out more and you are welcome to post updates in the comments section.

ALL of the information I pulled off the world wide web and then I smushed it all together in one big user-friendly document.
BIG THANKS TO:
indiewire.com

Section One
: All Feature Films at Sundance 2006 as well as all the info I could find on awards, production company, PR reps, Sales Agents, Acquisitions, Amount Paid, International Rights sold and MORE!

Section Two: The Sellers (those folks who will rep your movie and sell it!)

Section Three: The Buyers (they got a hankerin' for some indies)

Section Four: Distribution Tracker (know how these distributors put movies out! See how many theatres! How long they are in release!)

You are free to have it, all you have to do is email me and I'll send you a PDF or EXCEL file of it.
Just tell me which you prefer. The excel file could be cool for you, so you can fill in info as you find it.
