One reason I like Silverdocs is that almost anybody you talk with will have an interesting story and be articulate about telling it.

Provo, Utah’s Christian Jensen stopped by the Festival Hub to check his e-mail (free wifi!), and I quickly learned that he’s just out of film school and has a doc-in-progress, Peace Players, which concerns a group of Palestinian and Israeli kids who come together through sports. He came to Silverdocs on his own dime to learn how the film game is played.

Here he discusses his doc-in-progress, why it’s important for unproduced producers to attend Silverdocs, and Utah’s unsung film industry. While he’s often attended his hometown festival (something called Sundance), Jensen said that he prefers Silverdocs’ more serious-minded atmosphere.

The video is about four-and-a-half minutes, shot — again — with my Canon Powershot A590. (Come on, Canon — can I get some love here?)
