2008 Windrider Forum Rough Cut
The History of Windrider - Dick Staub with John & Ed Priddy
The video above is an interview by Dick Staub of John and Ed Priddy - talking about the history of the Windrider Forum.
Will Stoller Lee, Fuller Seminary Colorado, Windrider Forum Co-Founder on Windrider:
The Windrider Film Forum debuted in January 2003 in Park City, UT, at the Sundance Film Festival. Windrider is an immersive educational experiment and an ongoing conversation between filmmakers and film lovers. We gather at the nexus of faith, art and culture diving into all three with a sense of expectation and wonder. We have structured the experience to participate in Sundance on Sundance’s own terms. Our “classroom” is the Sundance Film Festival; the content of our “course” are the films we see; our “professors” are the filmmakers who participate in a conversation with us.
The Windrider partners in Park City include Fuller Theological Seminary in Colorado, Biola University, Angelus Student Film Award Winners, Priddy Brothers, the Peter Glenville Foundation, and we are all graciously hosted by the Mountain Vineyard Church of Park City.
In January 2008 more than 200 people attended the Windrider Forum. We have now become the single largest ticket purchasing block of attendees at the Sundance Film Festival.
Windrider Forum events now also include Windrider Colorado, Windrider Rome and the upcoming Windrider Toronto and Windrider Prague.
Hello there Im an Film Maker in Guelph Ontario Canada and making films on a rock bottem budget about fictional events using theatrical actors and as an christian Im hoping to make a difference as to content in films today. Most of my works are experimental and educational for everyone involved, Im glad to see Windrider Forum is making awareness and hope I can screen my works there some day. Great Job. Cheers. Henry D
