THE CUT AND AUTOGRAPH COLLECTION HOTELS BRING FAN-FAVORITE INTERVIEW SERIES "HOW I GET IT DONE" TO LIFE

Friday, January 25 (6:30-8:00 p.m., invitation only)

Independent films are a product of vision and passion, but also a business endeavor that often comes with long hours and a lot of time on the road, residing in hotels as well as shooting in remote localities. Marking the Cut's first-ever event at Sundance Film Festival, Autograph Collection Hotels will bring the Cut's panel series "How I Get it Done" to Hotel Park City, with some of today's female visionaries - from behind and in front of the camera - sharing their perspectives on how to balance work and life and how they find inspiration in the places work takes them to fuel their creativity and contribute to their success. Moderated by the Cut's senior culture writer Allison P. Davis, the panel will include comedian and actress Phoebe Robinson; partner and co-head at UTA Independent Film Group Rena Ronson; award-winning actress and DGA nominee/producer and director of Girls Weekend Kyra Sedgwick; and president and CEO of the Will & Jada Smith Family Foundation Jana Babatunde-Bey.
