WHISKEYTOWN Ap pl ic at io ns s ou gh t fo r art is t- in -r es id enc e "I t' s a wo nder fu l op po rt uni ty f or ev er yo ne ." —K ei th H er ri tt , e xe cu ti ve dir ec to r By Sandy Cohen AP Entertainment Writer PARKCITY,UTAH One of the most buzzed-about movies at this year's Sundance Film Festival is "Dope," a com- ing-of-age story about three outcasts in the inner city. Written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa and fea- turing a diverse cast of ac- tors, the film spawned a bid- ding war before domestic and international distribu- tions rights were snapped up late Monday. But when Famuyiwa and his produc- ing partners, including For- est Whitaker and Pharrell Williams, initially shopped the film around to Holly- wood studios, no one bit. "I don't know if there's a recognition on the part of those who make these de- cisions that we're living in a world that doesn't look like what's being reflected on screen," Famuyiwa said.
