When last we heard from Memphis-born filmmaker Ira Sachs, he was executive producing the 2011 film
"Woman's Picture," the second feature from fellow Memphian Brian Pera. Sachs is in Park City, Utah, this week working the Sundance Film Festival. His latest movie, the gay romantic drama
"Keep the Lights On," is his fifth entry in the festival. It turns out that Sachs and Park City
go way back, to the filmmaker's teenage years in Memphis, according to a story on The Salt Lake Tribune's website:
At age 15, Sachs came from Memphis, where he
grew up, to spend some time in Park City with his father -- a developer
responsible for establishing one of this mountain town's landmark
hotels, the Yarrow. That was back when "Park City was a little hippie
ski town," he recalls now.
On that trip, young Sachs attended the United
States Film Festival -- the precursor to the Sundance Film Festival -- in
Salt Lake Ctiy's old Trolley Corners theater.
"I grew up thinking there was something
called independent film, which I wouldn't necessarily have had access to
if there wasn't Sundance," Sachs said in an interview.

After watching my bf fly the syma S107 indoor heli for a couple of weeks now, I have to say that it is one of the most under-rated RC heli out there, hands down. At about $30 online with taxes and stuff, this little trooper delivers the looks, detail, durability and performance of a much pricier heli. I got it under 20 bucks delivered next day on sale at www.symasale.com - or just shop around on google.
