Not in Sundance. Not in Slamdance. Ditto for No Dance. Buckheim, though, is confident confi-dent that the week will be good. A consultant for Reelplay.com, Buckheim is in ParfGty to introduce intro-duce the World Wide Web site to the independent-film industry now in town. Reelplay.com is essentially an information bank for the independent-film industry, offering previews pre-views of films, such as video clips, synopses and pictures. "What they're trying to do is help the filmmaker get closer to the eyeballs of the people who would purchase it," Buckheim said at Reelplay.coms temporary location on Main Street. Technology might be setting 2000 film-festival week apart from past years. Up and down Main Street, computer labs geared for multimedia have sprouted. Harry O s was home to a popular computer comput-er center, Apple set up a technology technolo-gy expo in the Marriott Summit Watch and there are other spots to learn about technology. Probably few in the industry are surprised Computers are allowing filmmakers with tight budgets the opportunity do much of their work without enormous bills. Apple spent last weekend touting tout-ing itself as a leader in helping filmmakers film-makers with their craft. The Apple technology expo focused on Final Cut Pro, software that is an all-inclusive all-inclusive package for filmmakers. On Saturday, the Apple setup was a popular attraction. About a dozen Powerbooks and another half-dozen Power Mac G4 computers, comput-ers, loaded with Final Cut Pro, were available for browsers. Apple staffers were on hand giving lessons in Final Cut Pro and answering questions. Even Sundance patriarch Robert Redford stopped in the technology expo on Friday. Apple i Andrew Baum, like others oth-ers this week, talked of how technology tech-nology is offering filmmaking to the masses. Final Cut Pro costs $999. "You have all these independent film producers and editors who donl have a lot of money," Baum said. "It putting the took in the hands of the masses. It wasnl affordable. It wasnl easy to use."

"This revolution is similar to the desktop-publishing revolution," he said. Baum says technology will attract more people to the independent-film industry because its relatively inexpensive. "My prediction is you're going to have more and more independent-film producers working on smaller and smaller budgets," be said. "It makes it more competitive." competi-tive." But he also says that technology is only a tool for filmmakers, who. he said, still have to bring ingenuity to their movies. "It doesnl give you ideas. You still have to have imagination ... It gives you the tool palette," Baum said. "It doesnt mean the content is any better."
