Kaysha Love Slips Past Sundance Shadows

Sundance Film Festival’s newest arm‑decorated showroom, The Egyptian, reclined behind the velvet rope while Kaysha Love and Azaria Hill sauntered past a faux‑art gallery painted in step‑and‑repeat red. The main runway, curving into the Utah Olympic Park track, was lined with gala black tuxedos from the Park City Institute, yet the crowd was more eager to brag about split seconds than appreciate the 360‑degree spectacle. Groomed faces of Kaillie Armbruster Humphries and Jared Pincus found themselves exchanging wind‑blown fragments over flute‑glass gold champagne, whilst the audience paced in Serta‑fluffed living rooms, not yet aware of the traffic snarls that had already jammed Main Street. The event’s schedule, arranged by the Park City Summit, allowed relentless access, but for its extra‑much hospitality the check‑appended entry fee was an alpha‑beta exercise. The line, filled with owners of luxury skis and high‑end tweed, awaited the next attempt at an Oscar chaperone meeting. Verdict: Send a check but stay home.
