Catching up with Rob Meyer
I caught up with Rob Meyer (pictured above) to see how his Sundance experience is going.
A week in and Mr. Meyer is taking it a bit easier. Can't keep up the all-nighters forever. He has been passing up the late night screenings and parties the last couple of nights and took in some skiing during the day.
Rob participated in a panel, talking about filmmaking. He had expected it to be a bunch of young filmmakers like himself. Instead he was seated alongside Morgan Spurlock and Dennis Hopper!
He reported that his screenings are going well and he's meeting with (film) industry people. Everyone is excited to read his feature-length script when the writers strike is settled. Rob is wisely striking while the iron is hot. His agents at the Gersh agency are arranging meetings for him in L.A. in a couple of weeks.
His biggest surprise about Sundance?
What surprised him most was how the film industry is as accessible here as people had told him. He did not believe how easy it would be to just start talking to people.
I got to see his film, "Aquarium," today. And I found it to be a really sweet coming-of-age film that is beautifully shot on 35mm FILM, which impressed me. So many first-time films are done on digital video these days. Good going Rob!
