I think there's no question it will help us run a more effective festival.

There's a shortage looming and yet nobody's really looking at single mothers, who represent a rather large untapped resource. There are also issues of sex, racial and social discrimination at work. Single mothers largely are not seen as deserving of help.

I'm confident we'll meet all our goals.

That's because many patrons at Park City are there to see films, while Sundance Resort offers a more destination-type experience.

We were really successful in obtaining a large sample size this year. Without (hunters') cooperation, we would have been unable to survey the health of this herd.

For instance, we still do not include any of the spending by Sundance Institute to put on the festival, which comes to about $7 million annually. Not all of that is spent in Utah, but a significant portion is. We also don't include air fares and what's spent by film industry companies on high-end entertainment at the festival.
