In a matter of days, the flights from New York City and Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, Utah, will be packed to the brim. Not for a long ski weekend or for trips home for the holidays. The flights will be packed full of entertainment-industry veterans and wannabes talking about scripts, publicity schedules, or the Hollywood awards season as they head to Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival. Sundance 2011 kicks off Jan. 20 and runs for ten days, and AMC News will be there covering the films, actors, and filmmakers hoping to take it to the next level. In fact, I'm already here.

Be sure to tune into my festival updates, airing all week on AMC starting Mon., Jan. 24, all leading up to AMC's Sundance Film Festival 2011 weekend, where my interviews with actors and filmmakers will air during films on AMC all day, all weekend long, on Sat., Jan. 29, and Sun., Jan. 30.

Last year, we brought you interviews with the stars and filmmakers of movies that are now in the middle of Golden Globe and Oscar madness, including Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling, of Blue Valentine, and Davis Guggenheim, of Waiting for "Superman."

Here's a list of films we'll be seeing and the stars and filmmakers I'll be interviewing this year:

• Another Happy Day chronicles the dysfunctions of an upper-class family played by Ellen Barkin, Ellen Burstyn, and Ezra Miller.

• Cedar Rapids (which I saw at an exclusive press screening in Los Angeles earlier this month) is a comedy starring Ed Helms of The Hangover and The Office as a midwestern insurance salesman.

• Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock (my fellow executive producer on the original AMC documentary Committed) is here with The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, a documentary about, and paid for, by product placement.

• Sergeant Nathan Harris is the subject of the documentary Hell and Back Again about his journey with the U.S. Army to Afgahnistan and his return to life in North Carolina.

• Kevin Spacey, fresh off his Golden Globe-nominated role as Jack Abramoff in Casino Jack at the Toronto Film Festival, is here with Margin Call, a thriller set in a financial firm during the start of the 2008 financial crisis. Co-stars include Zachary Quinto, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Stanley Tucci, and Demi Moore.

• My Idiot Brother stars Zooey Deschanel, Paul Rudd, and Rashida Jones and sounds like a familial comedy of errors. The log line: "There's no such thing as a normal family."

• Page One is a documentary that chronicles a year inside the New York Times as the fate of journalism remains unknown. A "dialectical play-within-a-play" is how Sundance describes it. The film is directed by Andrew Rossi.

• Rebirth is a documentary about the lives of a group of people whose are connected by the 9/11 attacks and its aftermath.

I will be Tweeting with AMC News producer and director Mark Marraccini during our Sundance-trip daily, bringing you exclusive pictures, news, and behind-the-scenes action.
