antiTainment NEWS: Sundance 2004- Return of the Indie Film
01-25-04 Keavin
.
The Sundance Film Festival had a return to form this year as real independent films stole most of the glory. The annual festival takes over Park City, Utah and gives the fans and stars a chance to view cutting edge films and allows the big studios to scoop up the best of the bunch (or rather the most commercially viable).  

This year was no exception with a low budget sci-fi time-travel thriller “Primer” taking the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and “DIG!,” which chronicles the rivalry of two musicians, took the Documentary Grand Jury Prize. 

Films about addiction are a favorite in indie circles and this year is no exception. “Down to the Bone”, the tale of a house wife’s battle with cocaine addiction gave director Debra Granik the best Dramatic Directing Award. 

The winners (according to Hollywood.com)

Dramatic Grand Jury Prize: Primer, directed, written, and produced by Shane Carruth
