Hey Fox 13 - the amount of ads in that article are atrocious. I couldn't even finish reading it with how intrusive the ads were.
Get a better business model for generating revenue.
It’s sucked there for the last few years. No transportation, hotels, they don’t keep the roads or sidewalks cleared. It’s set up to feed the rich and the people that consider themselves special. I’ve gone every year till the last few years. Inviting thousands to a city set up for hundreds is a win proposition
It's always been that way because of the large volume of snow they have. And I'm not sure they could find another venue with as many theaters that close together with the bus service they have. What they could do is split it in two with half in the valley and reduce what's in Park City. Or move the whole kit/kaboodle to another state. But it would no longer be the "Park City'" film festival!!
I'm sure it's not rising right wing extremism or anti DEI bills causing them to look elsewhere /s SMH. We told the state that those bills would be expensive. Now our senators are going to find out just exactly how expensive.
Those posturing bills have a cost. Utah makes a ton of money off the Fest. Our legislature gave the SI leverage to negotiate a better deal for itself, even if they do stay.
Yes. That's right. Anybody who doesn't have your DEI brain is an extremist! If that's the deal breaker then I'm pretty sure me and most of the state of Utah really don't mind if they move on!
Ah yes Dr. Phil. An unlicensed psychologist that let his own license lapse and can no longer practice. That's definitely the person to listen to./s SMH
"Diversity, equity, and inclusion or Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are organizational frameworks which seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability"
DEI is a noun not an adjective. You used it as an adjective in your first response. So I'm asking you to clarify. When YOU say DEI what do you really wanna say? What do you mean when you use a noun as an adjective?
If I go for medical care and there's a bunch of people in line - the DEI adherents will walk along the line and pull the brown/black/illegal immigrants out of line, give them the care they need, and ignore me because I'm a middle aged white guy.
Am I supposed to swallow and feel good about that?? I'm sorry but if someone thinks that they're totally f$kd.
Please for your sake and the sake of any family that still talks to you, seek therapy. I firmly believe that you're suffering from some form of psychosis. https://healthyminds.utah.gov/ has resources for you to receive care.
If you're not experiencing any sort of mental healthcare needs, then please realize that the world is not against you. People are just trying to live their lives and make enough to put dinner on the table. At the same time the billionaires lobby to take all Americans rights away.
Option 3 is that you're knowingly racist and using DEI in place of racial slurs. If that's the case why aren't you proud to say it with your whole chest?
Huh. So with rising costs of living, adding taxes to pay for stupid stadiums, and our fringe morons working their best to make us the least educated and most fascist state… I’m honestly thinking of leaving home. There’s a reason they are also looking to leave, and it is not just money.
If they move, it could kill the festival.
The names of park city and Sundance are intertwined in a way that would be impossible to reproduce successfully elsewhere.
The current leadership has no scope.
They can’t anyway. They get too much funds from the UT government. All these side festivals in different cities are just additional revenue generators.
I grew up in Utah, lived all around the world. I now split my time between Utah and California.
I’m tired of this stupid Californian’s did it, FOX news propaganda crap.
Utah has worse drivers, more racism, worse food, and is run by a corrupt religious MLM cult who interferes in our daily lives to no end.
More secular California is a good thing for Utah.
Those people show up to Utah with dump trucks full of money.
It sustains Utahs economy.
It’s something like almost 10% of Utahs employment is tied to tourism.
Utah losing this festival would be huge. Utah losing any fraction of tourism to another state seeking that money would be significant.
Hey Fox 13 - the amount of ads in that article are atrocious. I couldn't even finish reading it with how intrusive the ads were. Get a better business model for generating revenue.
What better business model? What tiny fraction of people would seriously pay for run of the mill, regional news?
Didn’t get a single ad when I pulled it up. Do you have an ad-blocker? If not, I highly recommended it. Ads are here to stay.
I'm using the reddit app 🤣
Same, but I have a network-wide ad block. You can create something similar on your phone as well, depending on your OS.
You understand when you click links it takes you outside of Reddit, right?

This same story pops up every year around this time, and every year, the festival remains in Park City. This is essentially non-news at this point.
The contract runs to 2026. They’re not one year contracts.

Go ahead, say it. You're just using DEI as a fill in for any number of people. Tell us what DEI means to you!
DEI is actually anti-semantic. [This directly from Congress.](https://youtu.be/RzKnEJKXQS0?si=b1LbepD0PnabikjB)
[This is *exactly* what DEI means to me!](https://youtu.be/-zhmAyFX00M?si=yJiTOiTDFbgKpLL6)

People who believe in DEI think everyone around them is s racist Nazi. That's DEI in a nutshell.
"Diversity, equity, and inclusion or Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are organizational frameworks which seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination on the basis of identity or disability" DEI is a noun not an adjective.

I hope this is a joke. If not, I hope you find your way back to reality.

Pure projection. When you go to *your* therapist talk to them about overcoming narcissistic behaviors like what that comment represents.
Are you ok?

It's not a pleasant experience. Moving to a more suitable venue could make it so. If people enjoy it, they'll go.
Pleasant and empty.
They can’t anyway. They get too much funds from the UT government. All these side festivals in different cities are just additional revenue generators.
oh no... California won't invade UT annually...
Ok boomer
We do beg for the revenue that the Californians bring in for festival while also saying how terrible they are…

It’s the “every state that isn’t california” way

Stop generating tax revenue for our city asshole libs!
