Part Three: Online Exclusive Interview with Director of Sundance John Cooper
This week, we have been publishing excerpts from our interview with John Cooper, the director of the Sundance Film Festival. Just weeks after the festival ended, Cooper sat down with Haute Living to reflect on the success of his first go-round as director. His answers led to Haute Living Los Angeles naming Sundance as the “Hautest Film Festival” in our Premiere Hollywood Power Player Awards. If you haven’t read parts one and two, be sure to check them out. Being that he is so entrenched in the independent film world, I felt it appropriate to ask him what he thought of this year’s blockbusters, such as Avatar. He avoided that question entirely, but did share what mainstream movies he particularly enjoyed recently. Find out which after the jump.
