Sundance '11 Notes: Man Plays Piano; Bear Approves
Look! It’s a guy playing piano on the street! In front of a bear statue! What you can’t see, because I’m such a lousy picture taker, is that there are about five different people filming and photographing this guy while he does this. And why does he do this? Because he’s at Sundance. What else would you do at North America’s most prominent film festival besides make a spectacle of yourself?
Folks who care more about movies than they do buskers or bears should check out our mini-profile of actor Amy Seimetz, who is getting a lot of positive attention here for her role in writer-director Megan Griffiths’ “The Off Hours.” Seimetz plays a small-town diner waitress surrounded by schmucky men. It’s a very good performance in a very Sundance movie. You should also check in with us daily next week, when we’ll have more pieces on actors in potential break-out roles at the festival.
Now here’s an awful picture of Snoop Dogg rapping in front of a bunch of old people and frat boys:
