A couple of years ago, the first night I landed in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival, my friend and I were sitting at a lively little bar, minding our own business, about to order dinner. Next thing I knew we were talking to a group of very sharp young people about grassroots moviemaking and the various projects they were doing. We ended up hanging out with them all evening and before it was over I knew that when the time came to do my next movie I wanted to try to work with them if the project seemed right. More than two years later one of those Sundancers has agreed to come aboard as the DP on Rufus Rex and one has become the producer.
