Sundance Film Festival 2014
Each year in January, approximately 40,000 people converge in Park City, Utah, for the annual Sundance Film Festival. Founded in 1978, this festival was established to showcase the films of independent American and international filmmakers. Over time, the festival has grown tremendously; incorporating panels about film creation, film distribution, sound design for film, music for film and many other topics.
On Saturday, January 18, 2014, Dubspot will be working with The Collective to bring introductory DJ workshops to the festival. In these workshops, led by Dubspot instructor Codes, participants will learn DJ fundamentals like cueing, blending, and mixing with Native Instruments‘ Traktor and their latest S4 controller hardware.
