"I've never been to Sundance--however, after reading this book, it
feels as if I've been there and back. James Mottram makes clear the
impact Sundance and all its players has had on the so-called
Hollywood studio system, while breaking down the nature and
structure of storytelling, something I continually struggle with,
and articulating it in a manner that will enable the average movie
lover to more fully understand the metaphorical undertones a
writer/director is trying to achieve. The result is an enjoyable
read, full of a wealth of information that leaves us asking, "what
next?" --Milo Addica, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Monster's
Ball
