Cynematik • Cyndi Greening

You may have been wondering where I’ve been for the past few days. (No doubt it took awhile to notice since you had your own holiday festivities in which to partake.) Well, I made a surprise visit to the homeland (Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin). I rented Snowman and Santa costumes. My sister, Sandy, and brother-in-law, Jeff, helped Alec and I surprise the rest of the family by pretending to have hired people to pass out gifts. It was great fun!

I made my Sundance selections by telephone on the 30th. I was successful in getting nearly everything I wanted. We’ll be seeing five different Shorts Screenings. We also got tickets to Dogville starring Nicole Kidman with director Lars von Trier, November, distributed by IFC, and The Five Obstructions another von Trier experimental film.

My friend, Kohl, works at BYU and was excited about a BYU film being selected. The university sent me a promotional DVD of the short that spawned the selection. When I contacted the director about featuring the film on this site, I got an abrupt and not too courteous response so I was going to BOYCOTT Napoleon Dynamite but ultimately relented.

I’ve been working on setting up to blog remotely so I can post reviews and photos from Park City!
