The Sundance Film Festival is the sort of place where you’d imagine that indie filmmakers of the very highest integrity go to showcase their movies to a crowd of appreciative and intellectual peers.
However, we get the impression that Sundance is probably actually mostly made up of a bunch of sweaty Hollywood bigshots running around throwing money at anything they see, terrified that New Line will stiff them out of that tiny independent film about the Peruvian sock factory. But we digress.
One of the biggest draws of Sundance, of course, is the swarm of celebrities that flock to Sundance to prove that they’re interested in their craft instead of just getting arsey whenever anyone tries to take a photo of them. And Yahoo! has come up with a fiendish way of snaring them. The Yahoo! Cafe has been set up at Sundance to grab podcasts with any peckish filmstars that swing past.
And you – yes you – are able to listen to the Yahoo! Cafe Sundance podcasts right now. Yahoo! has grabbed interviews with Donovan Leitch, Good Charlotte, Sam Jaeger, Justin Long and 21 other luminaries. And you just have to pop over to the Yahoo! Sundance Film Festival Coverage to hear the podcasts, while reading about how scared everyone is of making another film as bad as The Island.
