Caption: For years I’ve seen the Sundance mark listed on some of the greatest films in the world. There is a lot going on for 10 days and things going on from 8am until 2am so here are a few things I took away from it in these three areas. Film
Panels

Caption: Tips Films were the most stressful part as a first timer. I had no idea what package to get and thankfully a friend of mine knew the ropes.
Get a package with the credentials so you can get into all of the panels and other side events.
And then get your phone ready and get on the waitlist 2 hrs before showtime. Unless you work in the industry for a major company its hard to get tickets early and this is one of the best ways to do it.

Caption: Panels

Caption: Panels may have been the most influential part for me. You get to hear some of the brightest minds in storytelling talk about their craft and innovations coming to the industry
Get in line about an hour before to make sure you get a spot.

Caption: Food
Picture
Caption: Tips There is two types of food at Sundance. The free kind and the stuff you pay for.
Whether it’s at parties, panels or happy hours there is an abundance of free food and drink. This helped my budget but it always left me a little hungry since most were appetizers.
There’s also a lot of great restaurants that serve a wide variety of cuisine. I tried to get to one new spot a day but realized quickly that it’s not a quick grab and go situation.
