Why would wee lesbian technology news reporter Kara Swisher of The Wall Street Journal be spending time at the just-started Sundance Film Festival? Is is to grab an autograph from one of my favorite actors, William H. Macy (left), whose new movie, The Deal, is debuting at the uber-influential event? No! "I am here because the Sundance Film Festival has understood early and often that technology is becoming increasingly important to the future of the film industry,'' Swisher writes today in her BoomTown blog on the WSJ's All Things Digital site. "Because of that, they've been expanding additional offerings in the digital arena with panels throughout the festival." In other words, Sundance shows once more how much technology is permeating all media industries.
