Needless to say, the reception in Park City has been more than we could have ever expected. The programmers placed our film into a shorts package alongside 5 amazing movies that have had us both laughing and crying from one film to the next. I’ve been floored by the amount of talent on display here, and audiences have been just as enthusiastic as those back home. But after something like over 7000 short film entries to this year’s festival, and just 60 being chosen across three shorts categories (narrative, documentary, and animation), the highlight for me was a stranger on the shuttle striking up a conversation and proclaiming that our film was the best film he had seen at the festival so far. I’m so grateful to all of the crew, cast, and everyone else along the way, who helped make this little Albertan film a success at Sundance.
