The MUSIC LODGE, which was The Associated Press Festival Headquarters, during the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, was a popular stop for Jack Black and many celebrity guests in Park City, Utah last weekend. For over a decade, AP has consistently attracted 90% of all festival top talent, filmmakers and influencers guests for photos, interviews, media and brands at the Music Lodge.
Additional celebrity guests included Octavia Spencer (A Kid Like Jake), Jim Parsons (A Kid Like Jake), Nick Offerman (Hearts Beat Loud), Armie Hammer (Sorry To Bother You), Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Kindergarten Teacher), Simon Helberg (End of the Line), Molly Shannon (Private Life), Hilary Swank (What They Had), Ethan Hawke (Blaze), Jeff Perry (Lizzie), RJ Mitte (Time Share), Gloria Allred (Seeing Allred, documentary), Common (The Tale), Jason Ritter (The Tale), Usher (Burden), Joel McHale (Assassination Nation), Louis Lombardi (24), Tim Daly (Madame Secretary), Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense) and many more stars.
Along with portrait and video studios, the Music Lodge had a check-in counter, courtesy of JetSuiteX. This semi-private charter air carrier printed ticket vouchers for guests to use in the future use. And for everyone who posts a photo, JetSuiteX will donate a seat to Angel Flight West, which transports underprivileged children to surgery.
A flight attendant was also there to serve beverages, including coffee, wine, Essentia Water (supercharged, ionized alkaline overachieving H2O) and more.
Spyder focused on enhancing the ski experience, both on and off the mountain for guests, and kept talent stylish on the slopes with their gifted Spyder ski apparel ski jackets. And inbetween events, Spyder warmed people up with a Hot Chocolate Bar, especially during the snow storm on Saturday.
doTERRA aromatherapy samples helped everyone relax during their busy schedules with a variety of essential oils to customize for various lifestyle needs.
In keeping with the music theme, Two Gypsea Souls gifted music-themed apparel. Every shirt was fully customized and featured famous music lyrics. This unique line sold out 48 hours after being featured on The View.
And guests could dig into MY/Mo Mochi, which is a mouth-watering cold treat that you can eat as finger food. The snack bite-sized ice cream flavors are wrapped in a sweet rice dough, and are delicious!
And in keeping with the music theme, the Music Lodge featured daily acoustic performances from 4-6pm, by artists, including Sam Woolfe (American Idol winner), Chaley Rose (Nashville, Code Black) and Evie Claire (America’s Got Talent).
Let’s hope the Music Lodge and AP are back next year. And for more behind-the-scenes coverage of Sundance 2018, follow @LizHKelly.
