What’s better than new films and great travel? Utah’s Sundance Film Festival is right around the corner. Starting January 17th, Sundance will feature 200 films from writers, directors and actors coming together from all parts of the world.

For us, film and travel are addictions. There’s nothing like watching a preview and feeling the anticipation of a film’s release. But don’t wait for the preview, Sundance provides the early opportunity to discover new films and enjoy the beautiful location of Park City, Utah.

The town’s rich history and triumphant come back is worth the price of admission alone. In the past, Park City relied heavily on mining for sustainability. Unfortunately the mining industry took a turn for the worse and the town faced economic strife which led to population decline. With a renewed focus on their natural assets and tourism, the town was able to turn things around. Once described as a ghost town, the city has revived itself with skiing and films.
