Sundance Film Festival Cancels In Person Events, Goes All Virtual To Avoid Super Spreader

Sundance is going virtual.

The Park City film festival set for later this month will be all virtual, no in person events or screenings. Luckily, yours truly already signed up for virtual tickets. Whew!

Apparently, the decision was made before the weekend and just announced now.

It makes sense. They want to avoid a super spreader, of course. Next year in Park City. Amen.
