Now here's something a little different than what we normally post about for Sundance. G-Technology by Hitachi is sponsoring a slew of panels, workshops, and events for up-and-coming filmmakers, moviegoers, and people in the industry that are attending this year's festival.

They have also teamed up with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who's bringing his HitRECord.org site to Sundance to raise awareness on an all-digital workflow using G-Technology storage solutions.
