Wish I Was Here: Sundance Film Festival

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we fantasise about where we'd rather be

The Sundance Film Festival takes place every year in Park City, Utah - which also happens to be home to two major sky resorts.

Currently at the festival is former MediaWorks journalist David Farrier, whose documentary about competitive tickling has received high praises following its debut on Monday.

Understandably, we're just a bit a jealous.

Aside from all that, the surrounding areas are in winter wonderland mode - with skiers and snowboarders taking advantage of the deserted slopes while the crowds are otherwise occupied.
