Sundance Freebies

One of the fun things about film festivals is the freebies. Besides the bright yellow water bottles and the L’Oreal mini-makeovers, we were offered the chance to take a photo on a specific theme, download it at the Canon place, and get free tickets. The tickets were a bit overhyped as a “Ron Howard film” which turned out to be a Ron Howard produced, Bryce Dallas Howard directed 15 minute short. One Canon camera given away by drawing daily. So I took the photo and turned it in to get my free tickets. The short was preceded by a “making of” short doc, extolling the virtues of their cameras, but that’s okay. They also gave away a door prize camera at the screening. They showed their mini remote controlled helicopter camera and the other equipment used to make the short. It was fun, and best of all, we were home early. I settled in, in my flannel pjs, with the two p’s of the basic food groups: popcorn and pinot noir. Life is good.
