Sundance 2012 Blog: Doreen Ringer Ross

For me, the Sundance Film Festival always begins at LAX. The first person I saw when I stepped out of the taxi at the Delta terminal was one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Keaton Simons.

They said, "In true independent cinema fashion, we have very little time and even less money." Being up for the challenge, I asked, "Okay, when do you need it?" The reply: "Tomorrow at the latest."

The flight from LA to Salt Lake City was uneventful...which is how you want flights to be these days. I sat across from veteran actor and first time director Michael Rapaport, who made a documentary called “Beats, Rhymes, & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest,” which is in the doc competition.
