The Sundance Film Festival, a cornerstone of independent cinema, is poised for a significant relocation, sparking a wave of nostalgia and apprehension among its devoted attendees. As this year's event concluded, a pervasive question echoed through Park City, Utah: "Will you go to the festival when it moves to Boulder?"
For many long-time festivalgoers, the answer is a resounding no. Butch Ward, a Sundance regular since the early 1990s, embodies this sentiment, declaring that he will not follow the festival to its new Colorado home next year.
