Sundance, Park city, Salt Lake City

Opening
Night

Riding Giants
will open Sundance festivities in Park City, January
15th

A documentary by Stacy Peralta (the skateboarder-turned-filmmaker who won the
director's prize at Sundance 2001 for the extreme-sports documentary "Dogtown
and Z-Boys). Screenwriters - Stacy Peralta and Sam George. The first docu to
open Sundance ever.

"Watching
a 90-foot wave coming across the screen at the Eccles is something I can hardly
wait for, myself," said festival director Geoffrey
Gilmore.

"It's perfect for us for an opening in Park City. . . . Half the people
up in Park City are basically surfers and snowboarders and skiers, and will
just love this movie."

Geoffrey Gilmore

Edge of America:
The Salt Lake City opening-night feature, Jan. 16 in Abravanel Hall, directed
by Chris Eyre ("Smoke Signals").

Filmed in Salt Lake City, the movie tells of a black teacher (James McDaniel,
from "NYPD Blue") who becomes coach to an American Indian girls basketball
team.
