NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — In a city known for music, could movies be next?
The Nashville Mayor's office said movie buffs and the production community in Nashville would love to see the Sundance Film Festival move to town.
I explain the idea behind this potential move in the player above.
The festival announced it's looking at the possibility of moving, with other cities having announced they'd like them there.
The Mayor's office said Thursday it does not comment on any potential economic development bids, and wouldn't directly say whether it's pursuing the festival.
But it did say:
"Nashville's connections to Sundance are well-known, from the Belcourt as a satellite screen to movies like 'Columbus,' which premiered at Sundance but had a Nashville-based production. Our film and TV production community and cinematic audience would both love to have an experience like Sundance based here if that opportunity were to arise."
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
