What is SUNfiltered? It’s film, art, music, design and more as we see it – filtered through that space between the underground and the mainstream. It’s emerging culture that demands to be noticed.
We’re excited to have an interesting and varied group of bloggers covering a range of subjects that go beyond what you’ll see on our TV network.
SUNfiltered is broken down into the following broad categories:
Sundance Film Festival: So you are unable to make it to Park City, Utah but need your Sundance fix? We’ll be covering the 2011 Sundance Film Festival with Nicole LaPorte of The Daily Beast, Yvan Rodic of Facehunter along with Amy Reiter and other contributing SUNfiltered writers. Check back here for all the action from Park City including exclusive video, daily blog posts and photos and see our Sundance Film Festival site.
Film: We’re going beyond reviews and previews to bring you personal perspectives on films you should see both on the channel and elsewhere along with the best in web video. Covering this beat will be Annie Howell, Lisa Robinson, Amy Reiter and the Sundance Channel staff, with contributions from Matthew Rodriguez, Michael Musto, Perrin Drumm and guests.
Music: There’s a lot going on in the indie music scene, and with the continuing decline of commercial radio and the lack of real music on television these days, it can be tough to cut through the chaff to get to the wheat. We’ll do our best to change that.
Naked Love: We’ll get to the truth about modern day love with a long, hard look at sex and relationships. Em and Lo of emandlo.com will anchor this category, with contributions from Lux Alptraum of Fleshbot and Boinkology fame. Also check out our sexy and provocative Naked Love short films too.
Green: Jeff McIntire-Strasburg, founder of sustainablog and former writer at Treehugger, anchors this section. He’ll be providing his own unique perspective, rounding out our staff contributions and news stories that will continue to provide timely environmental news coverage.
Culture: A broad category that can include art, design, emerging trends, memes, advertising (that we like), and other cool stuff. Any one or all of our bloggers could be writing posts in this category, but our specialists will be Michael Musto, Matthew Rodriguez and Perrin Drumm. Bradford Shellhammer will also focus on gay issues.
Full Frontal Fashion Highlights: And if that wasn’t enough, check out the highlights from our new website devoted to all the creativity and drama in the contemporary fashion world over at Full Frontal Fashion.
Of course you also know Robert Redford, the founder of the Sundance family. Watch for his posts in any of these categories.
We hope you enjoy the blog, and please feel free to leave comments on any of our posts.
