By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAY: What are low-budget moviemakers bringing to this year's Sundance Film Festival? In the words of Napoleon Dynamite, one of the event's most successful recent films, the answer is: "Whatever I feel like I wanna do - gosh!"The annual gathering of stars, amateurs and studio buyers in Park City, Utah, starts Thursday with a slate of screen stories trying to stand on individuality, including a homemade vampire thriller, a comedy about a pro-cigarette dad, and an NC-17 rated documentary that mocks the ratings board for being harsh on small films.
Sundance has been a springboard for such hits as March of the Penguins, Reservoir Dogs, Garden State, Sex, Lies, and Videotape and The Blair Witch Project. That is why distributors hunt for under-the-radar movies that could become the next box-office phenomenon.
