10 Sundance shorts on iTunes
Ten of the 80 short films featured this week at the Sundance Film Festival are available free on iTunes until January 25th. It’s a great way to see some work you’d almost certainly never catch.
Visit itunes.com/Sundance to check out trailers and download. (Link opens in iTunes store.)
I’m happy to see shorts featured this way, and hope it expands to features in coming years. I would have absolutely done it for The Nines. By offering movies for a limited window, Sundance and Apple can give exposure to films and filmmakers far beyond Park City, Utah.
It’s a smart implementation of the festival’s mission.

Is it me, or is it ridiculously hard to reach the same place without that link?

Chris,
For me, the following worked: go to iTunes Store->Search iTunes Store (it’s a field at the top right corner of the screen on my system)->type Sundance short->hit Return.

As an inhabitant of a country (Norway) not yet included in the iTunes Film Store club, I’m dying to get some advise on how to be able to access the US iTunes Store so that I can watch these short films.
Anyone with a clue on how to go forward?

@Karsten
Do you get the My Store pull-down menu at the bottom of your iTunes Store window? I have no idea if it would work, but you might try switching to the US store.

Ranielle: Thanks, but I think that’s not going to work.

Hello Mr. August I am a lifelong “Dark Shadows” fan. I understand that you are a screenwriter for the upcoming movie with Johnny Depp. Would you be so kind as to tell me what is the update with the upcoming movie. I saw on the Internet with Robert Zanuch
