Sam turns film buff this weekend and heads to Sundance, the celebrated independent film festival. Sam is going to live and breathe the frenzy of the festival as she tries to bring some of the glitz and glamour of the big screen to the small screen.
This is an all-access party weekend that promises to be free-wheeling, hectic and utterly unpredictable. There will be celebrities, future Steven Spielbergs and as many freebies as Sam can get her hands on. Sam even takes some time to enjoy the natural beauty of Park City with former Olympian snowboarders and bobsled drivers.
