  • Perhaps you focus on the highs of performance or the boredom of traveling, the anonymous backstage rooms and endless planes, buses and hotel rooms.
  • But what if you made all of that seem really fun?Directed by Tamra Davis, “The Best Summer,” which debuts at Sundance tonight in the Midnight section, is rooted in a box of videotapes that the filmmaker found early last year while evacuating from the fires near her longtime family home in Malibu.
  • Though they are now separated, Davis still shares the compound with Michael Diamond, better known as Mike D of the group Beastie Boys.
