Sundance 2016 Here I Come! #Buyaladyadrink



Late December I was invited to engrave at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival in Utah for Stella Artois.I had never been to Utah before so I was quite excited. The Sundance Film Festival, a program of the Sundance Institute, is an American film festival that takes place annually in Utah. With 46,731 attendees in 2012, it is the largest independent film festival in the United States. Utah weather was quite a shocker to me as it was ice cold. 
I arrived at around mid day and was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by huge posters advertising the Sundance 2016 festival all over the airport walls! Since I did not know where I was headed to this made me comfortable that at the very least I had landed in the right place.
The festival occurred January 20-31st. 
I had an hour to get to hotel and up to Park City Utah in time for my first event. Quiet a tight schedule but I made it. The location was up in the slopes and superbly cold. I hauled my bag full of my equipment up the cabriolet and headed up the slopes. 
Below are pictures going up to the Stella Artois airstream. 
 
  Stella Artois has three limited edition chalice this year. One is Designed by Kenyan artist Wini Awuondo’s. The chalice shows graceful hands accessing safe water. Buy a chalice & join in support of @Water. #BuyALadyADrink 
I was super proud to see Wini Awoundo's chalice being Kenyan myself!

Since 2015, Stella through Buy A Lady A Drink campaign, helped Water.org provide more than 290,000 people in the developing world with 5 years of clean water, and in 2016 we’ve partnered again with Water.org to help more people around the world who don’t have access to it.We believe it’s important for all of us to leave a mark. For every limited-edition Chalice sold, we can help provide 5 years of clean water for 1 person in the developing world. Please help this cause by purchasing a Chalice.
