Film Festival:

New Grassroots Film Screening Series Sprouts Up In Park City

An Anglican Minister and a filmmaker walk into a bar…no this isn’t the beginning of

a joke, it’s the beginning of the Vice and Folly Private Screening Series, an all new

film venue during this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Father Darin Lovelace of St.

John’s Anglican Church in Park City and Los Angeles based producer Chris Roberts

have teamed up to bring a new crop of films to the beehive state.

The screening series will be held in the:

Community Hall of the Christian Center of Park City, at

1283 Deer Valley Drive in Park City on January 20‐22, 2012.

Roberts maintained the friendships he had made with the

church and when he returned to Sundance last year to work for the Sundance

Channel a fast friendship was formed with Fr. Lovelace, who had become the pastor

in the meantime. They have spent the past year brainstorming and talking to other

filmmakers to pull together an eclectic crop of independent films, all related to the

theme of Vice and Folly.

The Vice and Folly Private Screening Series is a full weekend of feature and short

films. Feature films include, “Flesh,” a startling documentary about the realities of

sex trafficking in the United States and, “My Name is Jerry,” starring Doug Jones

(Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) and Allison Scagliotti (Warehouse 13) about a 40‐

something door‐to‐door salesman who opens the door into a new world. Shorts will

include the Roberts/St. John’s collaboration, “Up in the Air,” and award winning

films “Dead Cat Bounce” and “Grande Drip” (both with feature films in

development).
