Redford brings film to his own festival

Robert Redford took A Walk in the Woods to his own Sundance Film Festival.

The 78-year-old actor, director and producer had long hoped to adapt Bill Bryson's 1998 travel book about two friends hiking the Appalachian Trail. It finally came together last year, and director Ken Kwapis submitted it to the festival director without Redford's knowledge.

And that's how Redford ended up making the rounds to media outlets at the festival that he helped launch more than 30 years ago.
