ONE: Murmur Has It
A house comes alive when its full of people, the living thread of why its built. This year, at the AirBnb Haus, it has invited the public to tell and share stories of locals, allowing their characters to live. As it celebrates story while Sundance premieres many of them screening after screening for seven days from the 22nd-29th, specialty centric La Barba Coffee Roasters hosts guests with coffee and if you’re ordering a matcha, its by locals, Woodshed Tea. Here’s to hoping a “local murmur” of your own makes the receipt. 596 Main Street

SIX: SLAMDANCE
Created as a riff on Sundance, Slamdance returns with a run of films aiming for global dialogue and diversity. Noticing that actress Claire Coffee is acting in Narrative Feature Honey Buddies, makes the film warrant a place on this culture’s radar. According to the films synopsis, “jilted groom David is convinced by his excitable best man Flula to continue with his planned honeymoon, a backcountry trek in the mountains of Oregon, in a highly comedic ode to friendship and the great outdoors.” The outdoor setting of Utah couldn’t be a better destination to warrant this journey?
