Chris Peterson, in his dual roles as producer / director of business development for Post FactoryNY and Bang Music, jetted to Park City for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. While there, Peterson, along with Alex Halpern, Post FactoryNY’s founder and president, hosted film panels and sponsored the “NY State Lounge”, where artists and filmmakers gathered and learned about film production incentives in New York—and at Post FactoryNY, where Bang oversees all in-house audio post production. While Bang continues to expand into the world of independent film (including the new feature “The Stare” from James Franco’s production company), Peterson’s industry savvy and presence at Sundance provided many new windows of opportunity.
