Sundance Day Eight: News Video from Park City!

Live from Sundance, it's Monday afternoon! And Tuesday night! And Thursday morning...


And another Sundance thing... The guys at CBS News on Logo have been out in Park City all this past week, covering the newsy/dishy gay angle on all the films being screened (which, of course, will be all the films you’ll be watching in theaters later this year).

In their first report, they chat up former Congressman and Presidential candidate Dick Gephardt about his participation in the documentary, For the Bible Tells Me So, which tackles how religious factions deal with homosexuality (and specifically, how the Gephardt family openly dealt with their daughter Chrissy’s gayness in a political climate).

Report #2 brings up gay director Tommy O’Haver’s An American Crime, which stars Catherine Keener a crazy, abusive mother. They also meet director Donal MacIntyre, and talk about his documentary, A Very British Gangster, which tells the story of an openly gay mob boss in England. Crikey!

Next comes a news brief that gives you the dirt on the film The Nines, which stars a gasp-inducing performance from Ryan Reynolds, and some serves up some hilarious commentary from the film’s costar Melissa McCarthy.

Finally, today’s report explains how “it’s more difficult to get your film accepted at Sundance, than it is to get into Harvard,” and Jason interviews Sundance’s head programming guy, “power-gay” John Cooper. He’s the head of the team who decides which films get into Sundance, and which don’t. Does he have a soft spot for gay-themed films? Maybe... Maybe not.

Check it out.
