The Sundance 2006 Website is up and running and full of great information. The link to be a volunteer isn’t working yet but will be soon. If you’re over 21 and funds are an issue, volunteering is a great way to do the festival. You see tons of films, meet bunches of industry people and save a lot of moolah.
