Sundance has you feeling you are under that high school microscope again. You experience those same dreams of what the future will hold, days of sheer unadulterated craziness, hard work, and being a slacker. It's freedom, high expectations, low expectations, confusion, focus, shyness, awkwardness, etc. Hopefully our adolescence trained us well. Just as in high school, find your group of friends who get you and want to support what you are doing. Forget trying to be something you're not and focus on who you want to be. Looking back, weren't the cool ones really the ones who had the most confidence and believed in themselves?

not really. the "cool kids" in my high school were really insecure with themselves, but they projected a fake image to the public.
yeah you're right about Sundance being like high school all over again... some film fetivals feel like that, and I hate it.
Well- I guess I'll find out which club I'm in- this is my first sundance... Jr. Prom?- ;)
