Park City • Stories of young love and slow death took the big prizes at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
“Like Crazy,” a romantic drama between an American college kid (Anton Yelchin) and an Englishwoman (Felicity Jones) took the Grand Jury Prize for U.S. Dramatic films, at a ceremony Saturday in Park City.
Director Drake Doremus thanked his cast and crew, and his parents “for showing me what love is. … This movie is about love, and love never dying.”
Jones also won a special jury prize for her performance.
The Grand Jury Prize for U.S. documentaries went to “How to Die in Oregon,” Peter D. Richardson’s look at Oregon’s death-with-dignity law and the terminally ill people who have chosen to take advantage of it.
Richardson thanked “the extraordinary individuals who allowed me to document their lives for four years.”
