Hi, I'm Asa Kwanga and I'm Ryan Hunt.

And we co-host, Stadio, a football podcast on the Ring of Podcast Network.

If you like soccer or football, make sure you search for Stadio, a football podcast on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

It is Wednesday, January 24th.

Today is our first live show.

We had a great group come out on Main Street

and Park City on Monday during the Sundance Film Festival. It's great meeting people. I thought it was

only fitting that our surprise guest at that event would be Joanna Vesente, the CEO of the Sundance

Institute. Joanna is a true film industry veteran. She's been running Sundance since 2021, but for most of her

career, she's been a film producer, having produced about 40 films working with directors

like Soderberg and Alex Gibney and Nicole Hollifson, her. She won some awards as well, including

at Sundance. She founded a couple of film companies, including one with Mark Cuban, and was very

involved in the New York film scene until

2018, which became the executive director of the Toronto International Film Festival, the job she

held until Sundance came calling three years later. She's got a very interesting role these days,

because the festival is only part of her purview. We talked about the role of Sundance and the

indie film business. I surprised her with the

news that the head of Netflix film, Scott Stubberts, just stepped down. And I asked her about

negotiations with Park City and whether Sundance might even move elsewhere sometime soon. So let's get

to it. My conversation with Joanna Vicente. From the ringer inuck, I'm Matt Bellany, and this is the town.

And we appreciate you taking time out of your very busy schedule.

What is a typical day like for you during the festival?
