It will be a 2 Disc box set including the usual Outcry Magazine and Outcry TV DVD. So watch for this release shortly. We are currently producing the video and it's coming along great! I'm not a very good show host, but you can at least watch it and make fun of me.<br /><br />The time table for release is within the next 2 weeks. Probably sooner due to the fact I just got my new 8 core Mac Pro and everything is going so quickly. <br /><br />The Magazine itself won't be as big as our previous Mega Issues because of all the video footage we took of the festival this year. <br /><br />Great things are coming!!!Darin Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08219021907624097996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337292847224737228.post-54434179672760420262008-01-28T08:34:00.000-08:002008-01-28T08:36:35.711-08:00Watch out for public restrooms!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWVGkdAeG2KpJOGhTEX9f-R3pIcH1hLvEHsoHU1ZTF3bQKhmMZNVOSqaxYJUlXdxFTMeM6FdJHCdH7CyKnyah6CK4pG-KIqRg0Ygdv25jim8lvJAfmIUUcrGO9mwZZuMyRTaOa9u25uyV/s1600-h/DSC00289.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWVGkdAeG2KpJOGhTEX9f-R3pIcH1hLvEHsoHU1ZTF3bQKhmMZNVOSqaxYJUlXdxFTMeM6FdJHCdH7CyKnyah6CK4pG-KIqRg0Ygdv25jim8lvJAfmIUUcrGO9mwZZuMyRTaOa9u25uyV/s400/DSC00289.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160567098462683234" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Here is a typical scene at the Sundance Film Festival.

Presenting dramatic and documentary feature-length films in nine distinct categories and approximately 80 short films each year, the Sundance Film Festival has introduced American audiences to some of the most innovative films of the past two decades. Since 1984, the Festival program has evolved to include music, art, and dialogue. Beyond the streets of Park City, the official website of the Sundance Film Festival, <a href="http://www.sundance.org/festival" target="_blank">http://www.sundance.org<wbr>/festival</a> shares the Festival experience with a global audience with short films, filmmaker interviews, videos, podcasts, photos, news stories, and more.</span></span></p> <p><b><span style="font-family:FilosofiaRegular;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: FilosofiaRegular; font-weight: bold;">Sundance Institute</span></span></b><span style="font-family:FilosofiaRegular;"><span style="font-family: FilosofiaRegular;"></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family:FilosofiaRegular;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: FilosofiaRegular;">Dedicated year-round to the development of artists of independent vision and to the exhibition of their new work, Sundance Institute celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006. Founded by Robert Redford in 1981, the Institute has grown into an internationally recognized resource for thousands of independent artists through its Film Festival and artistic development programs for filmmakers, screenwriters, composers, playwrights, and theatre artists. The original values of independence, creative risk-taking, and discovery continue to define and guide the work of Sundance Institute, both with U.S. artists and, increasingly, with artists from other regions of the world.</span></span></p>Darin Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08219021907624097996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337292847224737228.post-42427032407711954722008-01-22T08:57:00.000-08:002008-01-22T08:58:16.804-08:00Academy Award Nominees at Sundance<p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family:FilosofiaRegular;font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;

We are calling it "The Snotcicle Chronicles." Why? I will tell you why. It's fricking freezing in Park City this year. Our first day at Sundance was January 17th, and it was so cold our snot was literally freezing. I know it's gross, but it's the truth.<br /><br />It was so cold we thought about wearing one of these!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIkjhXCGy45WnZOWlYsSnb1iAD3oSTXUAKCIHzWX9YCoRMC6_aY95GcH61asfStLMiG6cWjfMFF5eS0sE-h0HhS_Pqo09eIcBG-VColTrZ7XJW1A6AbwfGx1kRF2qOWx3TfwlVgPdL4A0X/s1600-h/DSC00285.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIkjhXCGy45WnZOWlYsSnb1iAD3oSTXUAKCIHzWX9YCoRMC6_aY95GcH61asfStLMiG6cWjfMFF5eS0sE-h0HhS_Pqo09eIcBG-VColTrZ7XJW1A6AbwfGx1kRF2qOWx3TfwlVgPdL4A0X/s400/DSC00285.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5157965293733082834" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Anyhow we have lots of great videos to post up of our adventures so far. We aren't able to make it up to Sundance today due to a massive snow storm. But we will post more information on exciting films etc. So stay tuned!Darin Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08219021907624097996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337292847224737228.post-35260727789598210082008-01-14T09:09:00.000-08:002008-01-14T09:12:57.011-08:00Welcome to Outcry Magazine's Sundance 2008 Blog!Starting this Thursday we will bring you coverage of the Sundance Film Festival 2008!<br /><br />So join us on our adventures in Park City Utah as we blog daily in the all new Outcry NOW!!!Darin Hadleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08219021907624097996noreply@blogger.com0
