The Sundance Film Festival happens once a year. Movies are bought and sold as entertainment commodities for hundreds of aspiring filmmakers and veteran actors, but just as popular as the silver screen presentations are the myriad of private parties, lounges and who's who events that blanket the small town of Park City, UT. On Jan. 22-25, 2015, located at 710 N. Main St. in the coveted Courtyard Summit, attendees are offered an escape from the barrage of movie premieres and meetings.
