The Pizza Hut x Legion M Lounge at Sundance!

That winter chill in the air can only mean one thing… it’s time for Sundance! Next week, Legion M will be back in full swing in Park City, Utah from Friday, January 25 – Sunday, January 27, co-hosting the Pizza Hut x Legion M Lounge during the industry’s most influential and well-known independent film festivals. Did anyone say, “Pass me a slice!”

Sundance is quickly becoming one of our biggest annual events—remember, our instant cult classic project MANDY had a VERY successful Sundance Midnight premiere at the festival last year. We cannot wait to see the Legion out in full force among the slopes of Park City to mix and mingle over a big cup of hot chocolate … or something a little stronger! For Legion members attending Sundance be sure you RSVP to the Pizza Hut x Legion M Lounge now!

Legion M is putting together a FANTASTIC schedule of evening programming for the lounge each day beginning at 4:30 p.m. MT. The Pizza Hut x Legion M Lounge is shaping up to be one of the HOTTEST Sundance destinations in Park City. Check out the full schedule below!

Scout from home, even if you can’t make it to the festival!

Whether you can make it to Sundance or not, we’re making it easier than ever to become a Legion M Scout! Scout is an important initiative for Legion M because it helps demonstrate how we can use the fact that we are OWNED BY FANS to become a competitive advantage. We've fully outfitted the Legion M Film Scout tool with all of the films at Sundance this year. You can log on, read the descriptions for each film, and evaluate whether or not you'd like to see that movie yourself or whether you think others would like to see it. You can do as much or as little as you like -- but for those who REALLY go above and beyond, there's a little surprise at the end! Sign up for more information on Scout!

The Pizza Hut x Legion M Lounge will be one of the hottest destinations during the festival, and while our name is prominently on the door, we’ve partnered with an incredible group of strategic sponsors like Pizza Hut, Getty Images, Constellation Brands, and a very cool on-demand wellness services app named REME to offset much of the event’s cost to the Legion. This gives us the ability to have incredible exposure at a very important industry event while being extremely tight with the company’s marketing budget.

More Sundance details will be announced tomorrow morning (Tuesday), so be on the lookout. Until then, Onward and Upward!
