World famous street artist 'Bansky' was in Utah for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. To promote his movie "Exit Through the Gift Shop" he put a few pieces around downtown Salt Lake and Park City.

"Everybody knows Joan Jett, but nobody really knows how hard it was to become her," Stewart said. "We've grown up being told that we, us girls, can do whatever we want, and that just wasn't the case for them."
"Jett said she was on "The Runaways" set every day, helping Stewart capture her posture, her guitar style, her East Coast Maryland accent. As a teen, Jett used to send oral letters on cassette tape to an aunt, and she gave one of those to Stewart to help the actress match her voice.
"I told her, 'Listen, man. I trust you. You gotta go with your instincts. If there's something that's way off, trust me, I'm going to let you know,' and I don't mean bite her head off," Jett said. "I'd guide her. That time never really came, you know. She was right there."

Taking a bow afterward were Runaways founder and rhythm guitarist Joan Jett and lead singer Cherie Currie, and Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who play them. Currie and Fanning were platinum blondes, in sharp contrast to Jett and Stewart's coal-black hair.Lesbian family film
By mid-festival, the most sought-after film was "The Kids Are All Right" a revelatory look at a lesbian couple - played by Annette Bening and Julianne Moore - raising teenagers, and the sudden appearance in their lives of their sperm donor. A bidding war broke out after the first screening, with Deadline Hollywood predicting the picture would sell for $10 million. You don't have to be an expert to see the commercial potential of "Kids." Director Lisa Cholodenko ("High Art," "Laurel Canyon") tells a story of a lesbian relationship over the long haul and the family they create.
Distributors also expressed interest in "The Killer Inside Me" Michael Winterbottom's adaptation of pulp fiction writer Jim Thompson's novel. It's a safe bet that the women in the Sundance audience who screamed at Winterbottom won't be telling anyone to see "Killer" at a local theater. They were outraged at repeated scenes of Casey Affleck beating Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba to a pulp. When Winterbottom said the violence came right from the book, these women let him know that was no excuse". Source: www.sfgate.com
