Welcome to Day Twelve and our final episode of our Sundance/Slamdance Film Festival coverage! Joined again by our Park City cohort & honorary bitch John Wildman of Films Gone Wild, we're capping it off with one very unique project from each festival.

The Slamdance episodic series Who's Annie is a dark comedy about a New Yorker in her 50's who is starting an acting career after surviving addiction, incarceration, and abuse. Director Sophia Peer and subject Annie Pisapia join us for a fun conversation about how this show was inspired by their real life meeting at a Burger King in Queens, how they both brought new hope and inspiration into each other's life, and Annie's ability to be upbeat and positive despite what life has handed her.

Fantastic Machine (winner, Sundance Special Jury Award; Creative Vision) is a documentary that uses an in depth array of archival footage to dissect the evolution and impact (both good and bad) of photographic images and technology, and how it reflects on our own self image and how we relate to each other as a human race. Pretty simple, right?!? I honestly don't even fully understand what I just wrote, but rest assured, this documentary is sooo good! Directors Axel Danielson and Maximilien Van Aertryck explain how they took turns doing research for archival footage (and the interesting YouTube rabbit holes they found themselves in), how the impact of technology really depends on the user, and how our history reflects where we are today.
