"It was a pleasant surprise when the festival sold out of more than 49 films in our lineup and we had the opportunity to meet Sun Valley's demand for second screenings for more than ten of the films," said Executive Director Teddy Grennan. "All along we had been hoping for a base hit, but with the valley's overwhelming support, it felt like we stole second."
More than 60 films screened at the inaugural festival, which brought filmmakers and film connoisseurs together to experience the best of the entertainment industry.
