Death overwhelmsHaiti
Titanyen, Haiti • Theystick out at all angles fromthe tall mounds of chalkydirt, the limbs of men, wom-en and children frozen to-gether in poses of death.Tens of thousands more
killed inHaiti’s catastrophicquake lie beneath the earthin mass graves cut into thiswide green hillside north ofPort-au-Prince, buried anon-ymously and without cere-mony above the turquoisewaters of the Caribbean Sea.
And each day, the deadkeep coming.
“I received 10,000 bodiesyesterday alone,” said Foul-tone Fequiert, 38, who wasoperating an earth-movingmachine at one of the graves,his face covered with a T-shirt that seemed little de-fense against the overwhelm-ing stench.

Festival’s new boss flips script
Once a year, for five yearsin a row, JohnCooperwoulddo something unusual whenhe introduced amovie at theSundance Film Festival: He
would execute a cartwheelonstage.
Cooper ended that tradi-tion three years ago, whenhe turned50. “This could getreally badwhen I’mup thereand my arm snaps, and I’mhanging over there trying
to pretend nothing’s wrong,”Cooper joked.
Colleagues and filmmak-ers sayCooperwill show thesame exuberance and love ofindependent filmat the 2010Sundance Film Festival. It’sCooper’s first as festival di-rector after 20 years risingthrough the ranks of RobertRedford’s Sundance Institute.
Film • John Cooper is the ‘driving force’ ashe cartwheels through the annual chaos.

SUNDANCE
DAVID CRANE | Los Angeles Daily News
Sundance Film Festival Director John Cooper, shown here in the Sundance Los Angeles offices, has risen throughthe Sundance Institute’s ranks for 20 years. Colleagues say he is talented and dedicated to independent film.
Educationofficials:Cuts arehitting bone
Looming education cutswillshrink public access to com-munity colleges, trigger morelayoffs and could depriveUtahclassrooms of crucial resourc-es, officials told legislative ap-propriations subcommitteesWednesday.
Driving the point home, SaltLake Community College an-nounced it is pulling out of itsleased Sandy location, whichserves 3,500 students a semes-ter. And officials warned thatUtah’s two rural communitycolleges face potential closureif lawmakers exact a 5 percentcut next fiscal year.“It is very likely that the

Hehas implemented newpro-grams that extend the festivalacross the country, while alsoreturning the festival to itsscruffy, low-budget roots.“He’s really smart, talented,
engaged,” saidfilmmakerRoryKennedy,whosedocumentaryshort “The Fence” premierestonight, the festival’s openingnight. “He’s part of the insti-tution. He is the institution incertainways.”“Cooperhasbeena real driv-
ing force behind the directionof the film festival and the in-stitute over the years,” saidTrevorGroth,whohasworkedwithCooperatSundancesince1993 and took over Cooper’sold job as programming di-rector last spring. “He’s grownup through the ranks of Sun-dance.Heknowsall facets of itintimately.”When Cooper first encoun-
tered the Sundance Institute,he was headed somewhereelse.In1989,Cooperwasworking
as an actor, dancer and singer.He had performed in and di-rected someplays inNewYorkCity and was a member of aclose-harmony trio—Cooper,Fike &Woods — that playedManhattan’s cabaret circuit.“He was really the creative
genius behind our comedy,”said Eileen Woods, the fe-male voice in the trio, an ac-tor who is a former Rockette.“He did a lot of comedy songs.He played off the fact that hecouldn’t dance, but in fact hewas a great tap dancer.”
Flying from San Franciscoto New York, Cooper took anovernight layover in Salt LakeCity to save $200. A friend in-vited him to a co-worker’sbirthday party at The NewYorker. Many of those attend-ing the partyworked as volun-teers at Sundance.“There were 10 really fun
people, and we had a reallygood time,” Cooper recalledlast week. “They said, ‘Youshould come volunteer for thesummer labs [at Sundance].’And I said, ‘Sure.’ Anythingto get out of NewYork for thesummer.”
Cooper spent his first sum-mer at Sundance arranginghousing for the filmmakers,crews and advisers attendingsummer labs atRedford’s Sun-dance resort. The next yearSundance asked him to be labmanager, a job he held for fiveyears.
When hemoved to Los An-geles in 1990 to direct a play,the festival hired Cooper asprintmanager, responsible forgetting filmprints to the righttheaters. The two-man pro-gramming department alsoneededhelp.“Theygavemeaboxof short
filmsandsaid, ‘Ifyoucanmakea programout of this, then doit,’ ” Cooper said. The resultwas the festival’s first short-film program, and Cooper’sfirst experience as a film pro-grammer.Programming for a festival,
Cooper said, “is very intuitive,because it’s a mixture of ac-ademics and instinct. If youhave toomuch training, it canget in yourway.”
Cooper learned on the job.He programmed documenta-ries and featurefilms. In2003,festival directorGeoffGilmorenamed him programming di-rector. Cooper alsoworked onthe institute’s online projects,its programwith theBrooklynAcademyofMusic and theSun-danceFilmFestival inTokyo.
Gilmore ended his 19-yeartenure at Sundance in Febru-ary to take a job in NewYork.Cooper’s ascension to the topjob ensured a continuationof the festival’s principles, se-nior programmer David Cou-rier said.“Cooper’swiseenoughnot to
changewhat’sworking,”Couri-er said. “He’smore about hon-ingwhat’sworkingandgettingback towhat is our core defini-tion of whowe are—which isindependent cinema.”
He calls Cooper “a man ofbig ideas.” Equally important,Groth said, is thatCooper “hasthe guts to pull the trigger.”

Mass.; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Chi-cago; Los Angeles; Madison,Wis.;Nashville,Tenn.; andSanFrancisco.“It’s in keeping with the no-
tion that the theater isn’t nec-essarily that buildingwe go to— it can be anywhere,” seniorprogrammer Caroline Libres-co said. “It’s abouthowcanwecapture the energy of the fes-tival, and take it topeoplewhoare justasexcitedbutcan’tfindtheirway toParkCity.”
Cooperalsopushedtheplanto start showing competitionfilms, rather than a gala pre-miere, on the festival’s open-ing night. On today’s inaugu-ral night, Sundancewill openwith the Alan Ginsberg bio-graphical drama “Howl” andtheAfghanistanwardocumen-tary “Restrepo,” both films in
competition, at Park City’s Ec-cles Center, plus a program ofshorts at the Egyptian The-atre.Another big idea is theNext
program, which showcaseseightmicro-budgetedmovies— and demonstrates to the in-dustryhowthesedo-it-yourselffilmmakers are finding newpaths to their audiences.
One film, “One Too ManyMornings,” canbepre-orderedonline now and download-ed the day after its first festi-val screening Jan. 23. Anoth-er film, “Bass Ackwards,” willbe sold as a download, a DVDor on video-on-demandFeb. 1,the day after the festival ends.“There’s still going to be the
films that you buy to take outtheatrically, old-school” at thefestival,Cooper said. “But thenthere’s all those other filmsthat will find these very cre-ative ways to get their workout there. I’m interested insupporting both at the sametime.”
Colleagues praise Cooper’sfair-mindedness, his eye forshowmanship and a sense ofhumorthatmakesstressed-outfestival attendees lightenup.A Sundance tradition that’s
“signature Cooper,” accordingto senior programmer ShariFrilot, is a private breakfaston the festival’s final Satur-day. “We [programmers] suitup,weget apronsandhats, andwemakepancakes for thefilm-makers,” Frilot said. “It’s justaway tohave an ending to thefestival that’s warm, and it’sabout generosity.”“Youwouldnever knowhow
stressedCooper is,becausehe’sone of the most even-keeledguys,” said director Morgan
Spurlock,whobroughthis fast-fooddocumentary “SuperSizeMe” to Sundance in 2004.
Spurlock was “freaked out”at that first Sundance untilCooper toldhim: “Listen. Justhave fun.Meet the other film-makers, spend timewith them.This whole experience is onlygoing to happen once.”“Sundance has not been the
same one year since I starteddoing it,” Cooper said. “We’relooking to discover filmmak-ers.Thatprocessoffinding100ayearkeepsyou fresh,because
they’re fresh.”Cooper wouldn’t be above
bringing back the cartwheel,though. “I’ve been workingout,” he said, “so maybe I’llcrank one out this year.”Will he do it on opening
night? “Redford would prob-ably go, ‘What is this kid do-ing? He seemed so normal inthemeetings.’ Maybe, as he’swalking off the stage, I’ll do aquick one, and he won’t evennotice it.”

Lawmakers met Wednes-day to come up with recom-mendations for how to reducethe state budget by 4 percentin fiscal year 2010, which be-gan last July, in the face of eco-nomichurdles.
Gov.GaryHerbertsaidwhilethe Legislature is looking atdeeper cuts than he proposedin his budget, he thinks in theend theywill see eye-to-eye.“I think it’s not necessary to
haveadditionalcuts,andIthinkwecando itallwithouta tax in-crease,”Herbertsaid. “Ibelieveas theygothroughthatprocess,at theendof theday, they’rego-ing tocometo thesameconclu-sions Ihave.”Rep. Ron Bigelow, House
chairman of the budget com-mittee, said he expects the
recommended cuts will be ad-opted pretty much as submit-ted. He said that doesn’t pre-vent legislators fromgoingbackand restoring some funding ifthecutsaredeemedtoodeeportaxrevenuesturnouttoexceedexpectations.Here’s a roundup of what

ThePub-lic Education AppropriationsSubcommittee recommendedthat if that 4 percent needs tobe cut this year, districts be al-lowed todecide specifics.TheUtahStateOffice of Ed-

programs such as UPSTART,an at-home software programfor preschoolers, and the Car-sonSmithSpecialNeedsSchol-arshipProgramwouldalsofacethe4percent cuts.
Lawmakers recommendedthat all those programs be re-duced equally if cutsmust bemade and that districts be al-lowed flexibility to transfermoney between some funds.
The subcommittee also, how-ever, includedwiththeir recom-mendations aplea that schoolsnot face further cuts at all thisschool year.

Ginsberg’s famous 1955 poemand the 1957 obscenity trial itspawned— “kind of a compos-ite of a lot ofwhatwe are.”
Documentary filmmak-ers Rob Epstein and JeffreyFriedman started the projectwith money from the Sun-dance Documentary Fund.When they decided to shiftgears and make it a dramat-ic film, with James Fran-co as Ginsberg, their scriptwas workshopped at the Sun-dance labs and received an-other grant from Redford’sSundance Institute.“We were wrestling with
making something as worthyas thematerial itwasbasedon,”Friedmansaidof theshift fromdocumentary todramaticfilm.“Youreallyhadtodosomethingdifferent to do justice to it.”Though Redford has said
he wants this festival to beabout looking forward, hecouldn’t help offer a reminis-cence fromhis teen years. Hetold theEccles audience abouthowheandsomefriendsdrovetoSanFrancisco tohear somejazz, andendedupinLawrenceFerlinghetti’sCityLightsBook-store,whereGinsberg andoth-erpoetsof theBeatGenerationwere reading.“I had a taste of Allen
Ginsberg even before ‘Howl,’ ”Redford said.
JohnCooper, the festival’sdirector, added one tidbit tothe story thatRedford left out:That the carheandhis friendsweredrivingwas stolen. “I putthat in for all you bloggers,”Cooper joked.At anewsconferenceThurs-
dayafternoon,Redford lookedback to Sundance’s historyand forward to its potentialas a showcase for independentfilm.“When we started this [in
1986, the year the SundanceInstitute tookover the festival],we didn’t know how it was go-ing to go,” Redford said. “I as-sumedwemightnot lastmorethan 10 years.”
Redford pointed to the pro-motion of Cooper, Sundance’sprogramming director forseven years, to the top job. “Itwas simply time for fresh newblood,”Redford said about thedeparture of longtime direc-tor Geoff Gilmore, “and that
happened to coincide withGeoff’s need tomove on.”
ButCooper rejected the ideathathis ascensionmeansa rad-ical change in Sundance’smis-sion. “If there were problemswith the festival before, I wasprobably a part of those prob-lems,” said Cooper, a 20-yearveteran of the festival staff.
Redford, as he does eachyear, advised thepress toavoidhypingfilms too early. “You’renot going to know [what’sgood] until the festival is over,”he said.Redford did remark on
one documentary on the fes-tival slate: “Smash His Cam-era,” about notorious ce-lebrity photographer RonGalella, with whom Redfordhadmany encounters earlierin his career.
RedfordtoldoneyarnaboutGalella — “I’m telling it be-cause it’s a storywhere I win,”he said—when the actor wasshooting “Three Days of theCondor” in NewYork in 1975.Redford recalled how he hadmanaged to get to his trailerbetween shots in front of theNewYorkTimesbuildingwith-outGalella getting a photo.But to get back out of the
trailer, Redford said, requireda make-up artist putting thestar in an elaborate disguise—includinghorn-rimmedglasses,afakemustacheandanafrowig—whileRedford’s blonde stand-
inwas sentout as adecoy.After the news conference,
Redford stepped off the Egyp-tianTheatre stageand into thethrong of reporters to say hel-lo to two old friends of Sun-dance:ChicagoSun-TimesfilmcriticRogerEbert, andhiswifeChaz. It’s the first time Ebert
has attended Sundance since2006, when he had emergen-cy surgery to his jaw that lefthimunable to speak.The 2010 Sundance Film

Hate” didn’t, as themoviewasshot under the radar in ParkCity in less than twoweeks.
Since the state Legislature
raised the tax credit for filmproductions from 15 percentto 20 percent last year (“Fro-zen” was too late to take ad-vantage of the higher rate),“it’s made all the differencein the world,” said MarshallMoore, executive director ofthe Utah Film Commission.“It has allowed us to talk tothe studios and allowed us toworkwith cable networks andthe independents.”
So far, six feature films arescheduled tobeginproductioninUtah in part because of theincentive program, includingtwo independent movies, theDisney epic “John Carter ofMars” and “High School Mu-sical 4.”
[email protected]“Iwas there alone, and Ihad
a feeling that this house is sohuge thatonecould reallyhidein here and not get caught be-cause there’s somany rooms,”Poyser remembered. “I likethe idea of someone hidingin a house and trying to playtricks on a pair of lovers.”
Right after the close of lastyear’s festival, Poyser beganfilming “Lovers of Hate” on
location. “We just had to usethe geometry of the houseto our advantage,” he said.“There’s so many places forRudy [the movie’s main char-acter] to hide, we would re-write scenes when we woulddiscover a room that wasthere.”While “Frozen” took advan-
tage of the state’s new film-in-centive tax break, “Lovers of
which is closed during theweek.“We were scouting every
mountain in Utah,” Greensaid. “I would ask [other re-sorts], ‘Could this happen?’and they always said, ‘Not atourmountain.’”
Snowbasin officials weremore than happy to serve asthe movie’s backdrop, andGreen received a 15 percenttax rebate through Utah’sfilm-incentive program.Mostof the film’s crewwere locals.“Themain reason I wanted
to shoot in Utah is because Ididn’t want to go to Canada— that’s nothing against Can-ada, I’ve shot films there be-fore,” he said. “But it’s dis-gusting that all of Americanmoviemaking is going out ofthe country.”
Shooting on location at oneof Utah’s prized resorts alsoposed the film’s biggest chal-lenge — shooting in viciousweather conditions that mim-icked the cruel weather thecharacters suffered through.“It would have been much
cheaper to shoot in front ofa green screen, but the mov-ie wouldn’t have been half asgreat as it was,” Green said.Thatmeant the actorswere
suspendedmostof the time50feet above the ground, con-fined to the chair lift for aboutfour hours at a time. For close-ups, the camera crew usedcranes to shoot the actors sus-pended in the air.“The second half of the
night, it would be really cold,”Green recalled. “The coldestit ever got was minus 4. Buttherewas onenight that, withthewindchill, itwasminus25.It was really bad.We had twoblizzards and a hailstorm.”Poyser and the small crew
filming“LoversofHate”didn’thave it as rough. The bulk ofhis filmwas shot in amansionbelonging to a friend— a four-
story, six-bedroombehemoththat also inspired the story.“Lovers of Hate” involves
a down-and-out man whocatches his brother cheatingonhiswife.He follows the twoto a home in Park City, wherehe engages in a game of hide-and-seek, ducking into roomafter roomwhile he spies onthe couple.
Poyser, who works for theAustin Film Society, stayedin the home for a night dur-ing last year’s Sundance FilmFestival (the house belongs toanother member of the filmsociety).

The Fray
Last summer, the Colorado-based piano-rockers The Frayheadlined at Usana Amphi-theatre, and this year they’reset to headline the first day ofthe acclaimed Sundance AS-CAPMusic Cafe. In a Tribuneinterview, singer, songwriterand pianist Isaac Slade said theband is a natural fit for Sun-dance, because he and theband’s other songwriter writewith “a cinematic approach,”keeping in mind their “affinityfor stories.” DaveWelsh, theband’s lead guitarist, said hehas been coming to Sundancefor years, always making timein his busy schedule to watchfilms. He loves “that extreme-ly vibrant vibe of downtown”during the festival, and saida 2009 Sundance film, “Anvil!The Story of Anvil,” is in con-stant rotation on the band’stour bus.'&*5 4 Today and Jan. 23 at5:25 p.m.'&*2* 4 Stanfield Gallery, 751Main St., Park City+$-!*/1 4 Free; open to creden-tial holders and general publicas space allows
AM
AM is a Los Angeles pop sing-er-songwriter who knows howimportant the visual arts are:his debut album “Troubled
Time” had all 10 songs fea-tured in films and televisionshows. Because of that success,he has been at Sundance be-fore. It’s “always a great set-ting,” he said, because “you’rearound people of your ownkind”— the creative kind.Utahns have seen him beforeon one of the various HotelCafe tours; he was one of thefirst artists to perform at LosAngeles’ Hotel Cafe, now oneof the most influential clubs inthe country. AM’s new albumwill drop on Feb. 9, and he willpremiere some of his newmu-sic first at the Sundance AS-CAPMusic Cafe.'&*5 4 Jan. 28 at 3:20 p.m.'&*2* 4 Stanfield Gallery, 751Main St., Park City+$-!*/1 4 Free; open to creden-tial holders and general publicas space allows

The Raconteur performs twoshows at the Sundance AS-CAPMusic Cafe, but if youcan’t get in, remember thathe also performs at Salt LakeCity’s Urban Lounge tonight at9 (241 S. 500 East, tickets are$15 at door). Benson, a Nash-ville resident andMichigan na-tive, created The Raconteurswith his friend JackWhite ofTheWhite Stripes, and thenformed DeadWeather in 2006.“The Raconteurs was supposedto be fun and spontaneous,”said Benson about the root-sy rock band that released twoacclaimed albums. “When thestars are aligned, we’ll do it. …We just don’t exist at the mo-
ment.” Because of the hia-tus, Benson is promoting hisfourth solo album, “My OldFamiliar Friend,” which fea-tures the poppier instincts ofthe songwriter — a differentside than he shows with The
Raconteurs. “My fans are all-forgiving,” he said.'&*5 4 Today and Jan. 23 at4:40 p.m.'&*2* 4 Stanfield Gallery, 751Main St., Park City+$-!*/1 4 Free; open to creden-

K.S. Rhoads
This 30-year-old singer-song-writer and multi-instrumental-ist was last seen in northernUtah in December with theTen Out of Tenn collective, agroup of Nashville-based mu-sicians who set out to provethat music fromMusic Citydoesn’t have to be slick andcloying. He will be performinga solo set at the Sundance AS-CAPMusic Cafe and said heis looking forward to his firstPark City visit. “I’mmore influ-enced by movies than othertypes of music,” he said. “I’minterested in film scoring. Myfavorite Björk album is the oneshe did for [the film] ‘Danc-er in the Dark.’” In Decem-ber, Rhoads showed off a pen-chant for looping sounds onacoustic instruments, and hesaid he plans to repeat that,as well as duetting with fel-low Ten Out of Tenn singerErin McCarley. Rhoads is work-ing on his next album and saidit sounds like “a bunch of Rus-sian composers hanging out ina bar in Louisiana.”'&*5 4 Jan. 26 at 2:40 p.m.'&*2* 4 Stanfield Gallery, 751Main St., Park City+$-!*/1 4 Free; open to creden-tial holders and general publicas space allows

E8 > THE MIX ≥ FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 2010 THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
inGuyana(2006), andthe1973uprising at Wounded Knee(2009).
This year, Nelson returnswith “FreedomRiders,” a lookback to the 1961 civil-rightsprotest in which black andwhite students rode commer-cial buses through the South— and risked their lives — toprotest segregation. The doc-umentary will appear in ear-ly 2011 on thePBS series “TheAmericanExperience.”What was it about this pieceof the civil-rights movementthat drew you tomaking thisfilm?It’s a story that people think
theyknow,orhaveheard.Butit’samuchmore complicated andinvolving story than theyknow.It’salwaysfuntoworkwiththattime inhistory, becauseyou’vegotwitnesses to itwhoare stillaround — and on the edge ofthemnotbeingaround.It’sgreattotellthosestorieswhilethey’restill aliveandvibrant.It’s about the civil-rights
movement before it was theCivilRightsMovement, in cap-ital letters. It’s about MartinLutherKingbeforehebecameTHEMartin LutherKing, theKennedysbefore theybecamethe icons that they became. Ithink that it’s interesting to
look at all thosepeople in adif-ferentway.Whatwas the No. 1 thing youwanted to accomplish in tell-ing the story?As a filmmaker, I knew go-
ing in that I wanted to try totell this story without narra-tion and use asmanywitness-es as I could. I also wanted toget asmanydifferent points ofview. I didn’t want it to be justthe point of view of the Free-domRiders. I think that,mostof the time, peoplemakewhatthey feel are rational decisionsand behave rationally. Whatwouldmake youwant to beatsomebody almost to death be-cause they wanted to sit on abus together?We really want-ed to get at some of themind-sets of people in the South.How reticent was Gov. JohnPatterson of Alabama, whooversaw the state police dur-ing the Freedom Rides, to
revisit this story?I think that Gov. Patterson
felt that there was some ratio-nality to what he did and hisopinions at the time. He real-ly wanted to talk about whatled him tomake the decisionsat the time. … I know that he’sthought a lot about that time,and I think hewanted to talkabout it himself rather thanustalk about him.Was there any part of this sto-ry that surprised you?The piece about Martin
Luther King was surprising.Martin Luther King has be-come this otherworldly hero,and Martin Luther King inthis story is very, very human.They asked Martin LutherKing twice to become part ofthe ride, and he refuses twiceto join the ride— and the sec-ond time he does it in a waythat causes some animositywith theRiders.
It’s fascinating to see thesepeople—King, theRidersandthe Kennedys— on the roadto becoming the icons thattheywould become.Thatwas one of the real fas-
cinating things, that not onlydo the people who were in-volved change, but the peopleon theperiphery—thebigpeo-ple— changed. TheKennedyschanged.Martin Luther Kingchanged.Theydidn’t comeoutfully emergedas thepeopleweknow them to be. They werealso changedby the times andprogressedwith the times.

Films take a morefemale-centric lookat action sports
If there’s any questionabout the place of wom-en in action sports, justask film pioneer WarrenMiller, who has shot morethan 500 films about actionsports.“They can ski the pants
off the men, excuse the ex-pression,” Miller said in aninterview.
Sa l t La ke Cit y ’s X-Dance Action Sports Festi-val, which began Thursdayand runs through Jan. 26,screens movies dedicatedto action sports. This year’sfestival includes a handfulof invigorating films thatspotlight women athletes.“Most male-centric mov-
ies are ‘snow porn,’ ” saidBountiful filmmaker Jer-emy Miller (no relationto Warren Miller), allud-ing to the dismissive termused to describe films thatshow tricks at the expenseof thematic unity. He andpartner Stan Evans, of SaltLake City, will be screen-ing their film about womensnow-boarders, “Stance” atthe festival.
Miller, a University ofUtah film school gradu-ate, recognized that mostaction-sports films aren’tmarketed to women view-ers, which he considers anunder-served niche.After linking up with
noted action-sports photog-rapher Evans, Miller beganfilming “Stance” in Decem-ber of 2008 and finished thefilm in August. In the pro-cess, he filmed 4 terabytesof footage, which was edit-ed to just 31 minutes. Thefilm provides a glimpse intothe minds and lifestyles ofprofessional women snow-boarders, including manyUtahns.
After spending monthswith the women athleteswhile filming, Evans saidhe learned much about hiscraft, as well as seeing theworld differently. “I want todo more projects like that.”
Global response to thefilm, which has been avail-able online, has been over-whelming, with Japaneseand European fans down-loading the film and spread-ing positive buzz.Utahn aren’t the only
movie makers with workscreening at X-Dance, andthey aren’t not the onlyones spotlighting women.
Tiffany Campbell, of San-ta Cruz, Calif., collaborat-ed with Andria Lessler andQuiksilver brand Roxy tocreate “Dear & Yonder,” a68-minute film that doc-uments women surfersas they tackle their homebreaks — hence “Dear” —and throughout the world— “Yonder.”
The project started local-ly in California, as a smallmovie. “But there was areal desire from the wom-en involved to have a filmlike this,” Campbell said.“A movie that shows diver-sity, and goes deeper; deep-er below the surface of justthe action of surfing.”
Campbell found thatworking with female pro-fessional surfers was eas-ier than she had expected.“With men, it’s more segre-gated,” she said. “Womenare more open.” In addi-tion, the surfers she pro-filed and followed through-out the world were happilysurprised with Campbell’sapproach, as she was in-terested in the stories be-hind these women, whichshe considers an unortho-dox — yet refreshing — an-gle to the sport.Warren Miller, who will
receive a lifetime achieve-ment award at the X-Danceclosing ceremonies on Jan.26, said he is ecstatic aboutthe explosion of interest inwomen and action-sports.He remembered a timewhen women didn’t surfbecause the male manufac-turers of longboards madethem too heavy for wom-en. If wasn’t until about 25years ago that surf com-panies began develop-ing boards specifically forwomen.
B r i a n W immer , X-Dance director, said hewas pleased to screen fe-male-centric films, such as“Stance” and “Dear & Yon-der,” because “the athleti-cism is there, and the film-making is there.”
Plus, especially in Utah,“Women love to participatein the outdoors as much asmen,” Wimmer said.

participate in elections. Thesurvey has amargin of errorof plus or minus 4 percent-age points.When asked to rate Ben-
nett’s performance, 58 per-cent of all respondents se-lected “excellent” or “good,”while 40percentpicked “onlyfair” or “poor.”But the senator’s marks
improve greatly when nar-rowing the group to onlyself-identi-fied Republi-cans. In thisscenario, 72percent gaveh im goodmarks,while27 percentwer e no tsatisfied.A n o t h -
e r q u e s -tion posedonly to GOPs u p p o r t -ers askedwhether vot-erswould backBennett or an-other Republican in a prima-ry election. Bennett receivedthe support of 46 percent ofthose surveyed, while 27 per-cent said they would preferanother Republican and 27percent were undecided.Responses from only Re-
publicans carried amarginoferror of plus or minus 6 per-centage points.Jim Bennett, Bennett’s
son and campaign spokes-man, said The Tribune pollshows his dad is “clearly thestrongest candidate in therace and the onemost likelyto keep this seat in Republi-can hands.”He said Republicans
should stop infighting andspendmore time “directingtheir fire at President BarackObama andhis reckless agen-da.”The Tribune poll did not
ask a question that pits thesenator against any of hisfour declared Republicanchallengers — Tim Bridge-water, Cherilyn Eagar, MikeLee and JamesWilliams.
But Coker said Bennett’snumbers would have likelyimproved if the question in-volved a specific candidate,instead of an unnamed Re-publican.With an unnamed chal-
lenger respondents oftenthink of the person theywouldmost like to see in therace, whereas any individualchallenger would likely havesupporters and detractors.
Coker said a successfulchallenge to Bennett wouldmost likely come from some-one well known in the GOP
who can raise money quick-ly.“I’mnot saying he is in any
kind of severe danger, but ifsomebody with some sort ofstature within the Republi-can Party challenged him ina primary, it could be an in-teresting race,” Coker said.
Before Bennett couldreach a primary election, hemust survive a potentiallyhostile state Republican con-vention inMay.
If a candidate gets the sup-port of at least 60 percent ofthe 3,500delegates, he or shebecomes theparty’s nominee.If no one reaches that thresh-old, the top two vote-gettersface off in a statewide pri-mary.
Bennett’s challengers arespending almost all of theirenergy courting likely dele-gates, who tend to be morepolitically active and moreconservative than the vot-ing population at large. Theyknow their best chance at un-seating the incumbentwill beat the convention.Because of that, business-
woman Cherilyn Eagar saidthe poll numbers aren’t “rel-evant” to her effort. Still shesaid for a three-term incum-bent, Bennett should be poll-ingmuch better and that thenumbers spell trouble for hiscampaign.“If I were in his shoes, I’d
certainly not be happy withthose results, butwedoknowand have known for sometime there is some discon-tent and that’s why I’m inthis race,” says Eagar, whoruns an Internet real estatebusiness.Mike Lee, former gener-
al counsel to then-Gov. JonHuntsman Jr., said he’s notsurprised byBennett’s stand-ing among voters but that hehas a “gut reaction” fromUtahns he has talked towhoare looking for a new leader.
“There are a lot ofUtahns
who are ready for a change,ready to pass the torch to anew generation,” Lee said.
Bridgewater, a business-man who previously ran forthe House against Rep. JimMatheson, D-Utah, saysTheTribune’s poll results reflectwhat he is seeing on the cam-paign trail.“Theymay feel like he has
done a good job, but the eco-nomic issues and the explo-sive growth of governmentthat is plaguing the nation isa challenge for the next gen-eration of leadership,” Bridge-water said. “Nobody believeshe is part of the solution.”Like other challengers,
James Williams, a small-business owner, has repeat-edly criticized Bennett forhis support of theWall Streetbailout in 2008. He expectsupstart conservative coali-tions, such as the tea partiesand the 9-12 group to bolsterthe challengers’ chances asthe convention draws closer.“He has served the state of
Utah extremely well,” saidWilliams. “I just think it istime to get a true conserva-tive elected into office.”Whoever becomes the Re-
publican nominee has a verygood chance of claiming theSenate seat in conservativeUtah.
The Tribune poll pit-ted Bennett against an un-named Democrat in a gen-eral election contest and 53percent of respondents saidthey would support the sit-ting senator, while only 26percent said theywould voteto replace him with a Dem-ocrat. So far, SamGranato, arestaurateurandchairmanofthe state Alcoholic BeverageControl Commission, is theloneDemocrat in the race.

a crutch as he limped alongthe red carpet prior to the6:30 p.m. screening, admit-tedhewas a Sundance festivalvirgin, although he had spenta lot of time in town as a partowner of the former Salt LakeTrappers baseball team. Afterthe movie, which received astanding ovation frommovie-goers at the RoseWagner Per-forming Arts Center, Murraythrew aside his crutch as ifhe had been healed by the ap-plause.He continued to play co-
median at the Q&A after thefilm, but turned seriouswhenaskedwhyhehad beendrawnto the project. “Great writ-ing,” he said of the script byChrisProvenzanoandCharlieMitchell, aswell as the chancetoworkwith Sissy Spacek andRobert Duvall.“If youwere a real actor, you
could not have a career if youdon’t take the opportunity toworkwithMr. RobertDuvall,”Murray said.
He also praised “the kid”director, Aaron Schneider,who had earned an AcademyAward for his short film, “TwoSoldiers,” in 2004.Having his first full-length
narrative film selected to play
first at Toronto, and thenSundance, capped a year ofdreams come true, the direc-tor said. “It wasmy first mov-ie, and I was basically tryingtokeepupwith thesemasters,”Schneider said.“GetLow,” set to be released
in July, was filmed in 24 dayson a budget of $7million, butthe story plays much biggerthan that, thanks to its nu-anced performances.It’s awarmly comic psycho-
logical ghost story set in 1930sTennessee, based on the real-life legend of Felix Bush. Du-vall embodies the character ofamercurial hermitwhoplanshis own funeral party, seekingredemption for a 40-year-oldsin. Murray plays an on-the-make undertaker, willing tofulfill Bush’s eccentric wish-es to earn a ball of “hermitmoney.” Spacek plays Mad-dy, Bush’s former girlfriend,which the actress describedas “the emotional heart” ofthe story.“Anytime you get to play
a guy who plans and goes tohis own funeral, I’m interest-ed,” Duvall said. “Wonderfulscript.”Asked if this character
might serve as the capstoneof his career, Duvall said heplanned to keep acting untilhe was older than Bush, oldenough that a director mighthave to wipe the drool off hisface.
