Like having the rug pulled out

As everyone knows from reading our blogs and watching our videos, going to the Sundance Film Festival is expensive and very difficult to obtain tickets to movies you want to see. So I ask you, faithful 3 followers, what do you think of this?

As a Sundance follower I subscribe to their twitter and Facebook feeds. Today I check my facebook account and there's a screening of a bunch of shorts on YouTube that will be debuting at the film festival this weekend. I stop by the page and what do I see? Several shorts that are part of the shorts program that we paid $35 a ticket to sit and watch.

Now I have to say that I think this takes the whole Sundance experience and cheapens it for those of us who spend the time and money to go there every year. Showing movies for free BEFORE they're shown to the paying customers... Really? REALLY?!?

Well for those of you who want to get to see short films before we get to, check out this link. I don't know if they're keeping it up for the duration of the festival so if you want to check them out I suggest you do so soon.  Don't tell me about them though, I want to try and get my money's worth.
