We were finally able to go to a Sundance film last night! About 4 years ago we tried along with Noah and LaShae to wait in line to attend a film at the Tower theater in the 9th and 9th area - we waited for about an hour and didn't get into the film. It was fun, but we were not successful. Ryan was determined this year to get tickets. The process started a few months ago. He had to create a log in, make a donation, request that he be able to order tickets and from there an email would be sent to him with a date and time to actually order tickets. That time came a few weeks ago and we were able to get tickets to the 99% Occupy Wall Street documentary. Of course we wanted to invite Noah and LaShae to finish our Sundance adventure we started years ago.
The film started at 6:45 pm at the Broadway theater downtown. We met up at 6:30 pm and walked into the theater which was already packed, so our seats were on the front row. A volunteer introduced the film and had the directors/producers come to the front and introduce themselves. We watched a short film, then our featured film started. It was a great film and was a true documentary. We were able to view the events that took place during all the occupy events firsthand and I saw a lot of things that the news definately left out. After the film ended, the producers/directors were brought back to the front and the audience was able to ask questions to them about the film. It was a neat experience to have and I hope we can go to another Sundance film.
After the movie, we went to Vinto for dessert/pizza/hot chocolate. It was a fun night out with the Steele's and we are lucky to have them as friends!
