Institute History
- 1987 Sundance Film Festival
Description
Off Season is the story,—a very strange story—of a man (jury member and screenwriter L.M. Kit Carson) who lives in a small Vermont town and his relationships with two friends he’s always kept at a distance. His best friend, Leon, a local car mechanic, and his New York girlfriend, Alex, who arrives unexpected to live with him, gradually push the envelope of his isolation to the breaking point.
Off Season seems at once a throwback to the mock-verite style of David Holtzman’s Diary, while at same time a visionary and revitalized inner monologue of personal cinema. It’s at its core, a provocative and mysterious film about death—real and metaphoric—with its lead character struggling to control his inner demons. Bases on a story by Mary Arbuckle and Mark Rance

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
