It's Cooper to head up Sundance



After the departure of Geoff Gilmore to Tribeca, the Sundance Film Festival has promoted programmer John Cooper, a 20-year Sundance vet, to the post of Director of the Festival. Like there was any doubt! John Cooper is amazingly talented, and I can say, a very nice guy, as I've had the pleasure of talking with him a couple of times.

Read about it in Variety.

The new director "brings to the position an infectious enthusiasm as well as a deep understanding of the Sundance brand and culture," founder Robert Redford said.
