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."
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
