Today in Salt Lake the Sundance Film about Ralph Nader,AN UNREASONABLE MAN, is being shown (details below). It is sure to be a sell-out. Please write in your comments about the film if you have seen it or will see it today but clicking on “speak” at the bottom of this post.

Sundance and its Volunteers

Sundance would probably function a lot differently were it not for its volunteers who are crucial in making Sundance happen.

The people that I know who volunteer for the famous film festival event do it because they love independent film, utah, and the festival – not because they want to see celebrities or mingle with them. Volunteers get to see films for free (in their spare time!) and they love meeting people who travel to Utah from all over to attend the event.

Many of the volunteers work full time jobs in addition to volunteering. One friend of mine (also a sister Radical Cheerleader!)spends 30 hours per week on top of her 40 hour per week social work job to volunteer at this event……and she loves it.

Thanks to all the volunteers out there who are making this happen!
