In the week that saw Brian Golden Davis’ documentary secure a distribution deal with Discovery Communications’ Animal Planet and Lionsgate, the film also left Park City with two top awards.
The Million Dollar Duck won the narrative jury and audience awards for best documentary feature on Thursday night.
Paul Taylor’s Driftwood claimed the juried narrative feature awards while Honey Buddies by Alex Simmons took the audience award.
“Congratulations to all of the filmmakers this year. Outside of winning a Sparky, as a collective they showed us the power of real independent film and how much it enriches our lives,” said Slamdance president and co-founder Peter Baxter.

From Miley Cyrus' highly anticipated Bangerz album release to David Bowie's new music, check out what's new in music this week!
1. Miley Cyrus-'Bangerz' (RCA Records)
Tabloid regular and queen of "twerk" Miley Cyrus is gearing up to release her highly anticipated fourth studio album, Bangerz. In the weeks leading up to its release, Cyrus received much criticism for her antics, let alone for her stripped-down video, Wrecking Ball. The music video currently holds a Vevo record, being the fastest music video ever to reach certified status, with over 100 million views in just 6 days. In an effort to shed her former squeaky clean Disney-tween image, Cyrus has gone to the extreme to bare everything, literally.
Bangerz pulls out all the stops with a jam packed group of A-list producers including Mike Will, Pharrell, Future, and will.i.am . Pop legend, and no stranger to headlines, Miss Britney Spears joins her on the track, Ms, with Cyrus...

We've been following the story of Grouplove as told through the lens of director Jordan Bahat's "Bloom" for a couple weeks now. To review, the band formed on the isle of Crete during a romantic voyage undertaken by guitarist Christian Zucconi and keyboardist Hannah Hooper who'd just recently met at a show in New York. There they met two Californian travelers, Andrew Wessen and Ryan Rabin, son of Hollywood mainstay Trevor Rabin. And along with British expat Sean Gadd, they all formed Grouplove.
Here's the third and final part of "Bloom" and a peek into the making of their album, "Never Trust A Happy Song."
Watch parts one and two! And let us know what you think in the comments below or on Twitter or Facebook!

Grouplove's much beloved debut full length, "Never Trust A Happy Song," is just a few weeks old and despite the cautionary title, it's songs thrive on the seemingly unbridled joy the band exudes everywhere they go.
Director Jordan Bahat created a mini documentary called "Bloom," about the making of the album, which we'll be premiering in three parts. In this first part, the band talks about their beginnings, rooted in the night that Hannah Hooper met Christian Zucconi at a show in New York.
What ensued was a love-at-first-sight story about a boy who takes a girl to his car, parked in a secret spot under the Williamsburg bridge, where they while away the hours talking and listening to music. It was an intimate session which the boy admits to recording for posterity on a tape recorder, but not in a creepy way. Hooper was clearly flattered and promptly invited...
