She said that, when the posters were for sale that year, they sold out quickly and, since it was a limited-edition item, printing the poster again was out of the question. Instead, they decided to put it on a bag. “Walking up and down Main Street, it’s bright, it’s cheerful, it resonates Utah all over it,” she said. “It’s a great product.” The shop also has totes made out of CAROLYN WEBBER/PARK RECORD Tracie Murphy, left, and Grayson Orr helped design the merchandise for this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
