Bab 82: Chapter 82 I Want to Be a Director

Park City, Utah, a small town in the mountains famous for its high-altitude skiing, has become extraordinarily bustling in the last few days. The annual Sundance Film Festival has attracted a large number of tourists, and this small town is now even more eye-catching than Hollywood, with directors, actors, production company staff, reporters, and film buffs visible all along the streets.

Among them are many well-known stars. Since Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" revived the careers of Bruce Willis and John Travolta and launched Uma Thurman's, participating in independent films has become a cool thing to do. Many stars have begun to join in without regard to pay, hoping to hit the jackpot with a good film, to have a career resurgence, or to successfully transition or break through.

Of course, the streets are filled with even more unknown newcomers who bring their work to the festival, hoping to get an opportunity and appreciation.
