Honoring the volunteers
Every year, Sundance Film Festival organizers go out of their way to mention that the festival would descend into chaos without the efforts of the thousand-plus volunteers who give their time and freeze their fannies to help run things smoothly.
This year, the festival is going a step further - by giving an award to one volunteer.
The Gayle Stevens Award - named after the longtime chairwoman of the Sundance Institute's Utah Advisory Board, who died in a car crash in August - will go to one longtime volunteer who has "have gone above and beyond in their contributions to the Festival."
The award will get a special mention in the festival catalog (with the 2009 winner receiving a mention in the 2010 catalog). The winning volunteer will get a special ID credential, which will give them an Express Pass to all festival screenings (when they're off duty, of course).
The winner will be announced Wednesday, Jan. 14, at Sundance's staff and volunteer party, at the Park City Mountain Resort's Legacy Lodge.
