Hello from Flavorpill's very first festival blog. Bringing you the full gamut of coverage from the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, we're coming at you live and direct from Park City, UT, with daily video and blog posts for the duration of the fest.

While the real "Day One" doesn't land until this Thursday, January 19th, when the film(ish) frenzy officially launches, the buzz is already well underway — so jump into the fray now and stick with us through January. We promise to keep you stone-cold updated even if it means losing a finger or two to frostbite.
