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."
I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
