My friend Brad Barber’s documentary short entitled Yard Sale will be premiering in competition at the 2006 Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, UT this weekend. Since I designed the documentary’s site for him (which I just finished a few days ago), he sent me an advance copy so I could see what the film was about.

It’s a nice little piece. However, I am biased since I’m his friend and I love yard sales. I recommend checking it out if you’re bumming around Park City during this next week. You can also view the trailer on the site.

Struggling to shed excessive sentimental mementos while preserving family history, the filmmaker considers broader issues of attachment, home movies, and first-time fatherhood. By exploring the eclectic, bizarre collage of discarded family belongings at yard sales, he attempts to clarify what’s really worth holding on to.

Screenings will be held:

• Sunday January 22, 2006 at 5:00 pm
• Wednesday January 25, 2006 at 3:30pm.

All screenings will be paired with the documentary Forgiving Dr. Mengele and will take place at:

Treasure Mountain Inn (TMI)
255 Main Street
Park City, Utah 84060
