Among the thank-yous he gave in his Awards Night speech - to his staff, the volunteers and the people of Park City - Sundnace Film Festival director Geoff Gilmore got quite passionate about the worrisome future of independent film.

"The future isn't clear, it really is uncertain," Gilmore said. "The independent arena will change, and it has to change in order to prosper. It has to change because there are too many good films here that people have to see. And we have to work out a way for that to happen."
