Gen Art = Sundance Film Festival Successes
Gen Art’s most ambitious slate of programming to date for Park City was a great success. The Gen Art VIP Daytime Lounge hosted (and warmed) guests for 17 hours over the first weekend of the Festival, and the fun times continued at our four additional high profile events.
At the daytime lounge, guests took a break from the madness of Main Street to chill out, grab a complimentary drink (Patron, Stella Artois or Fiji water, depending on the mood) and network like there was no tomorrow. Shoulders were rubbed and stories were shared with indie film directors, New York and L.A. night timers, Lisa Edelstein of "House" fame, funny man Tom Arnold, Cory Kennedy, and for those who miss the original "92010", Ian Ziering.
The evenings were filled with fabulous events celebrating independent film including the 3rd annual 7 Fresh Faces in Film Celebration , the Kenneth Cole Black Party, an event with Entertainment Weekly celebrating documentary filmmaking talent, and the K-Swiss Ping Pong Classic.
Check out our daytime lounge photos here and read all the dirty details from the rest of our Sundance weekend here.
