Framed as a dark parody of a familiar bedtime story, Goodnight Sundance is a grown-up satirical send-off to a film festival-and a town-on the verge of goodbye. It skewers the rituals and contradictions of Sundance in Park City: the crowded Egyptian Theatre, whispered deals, influencer theatrics, exhausted volunteers, and films that drift from "art" to "content" overnight.
Beneath the jokes and insider nods, the poem traces a quieter shift-how a scrappy, artist-first festival slowly became a brand, how local character blurred under global attention, and how the mountains stayed put through it all. Goodnight Sundance is less a eulogy than a knowing farewell: affectionate, skeptical, and fully aware that when the circus packs up, even the most cynical local will feel a tinge of loss.
