Film Crew Outside Chloe Lane Shoots Epic Joy Ride
Gawkers wandering down Main Street might have caught a glimpse of Sundance in front of Chloe Lane Monday morning, as two young filmmakers set up camp to shoot the next scene of their documentary. Despite appearances, the crew wasn’t there to capture the fate of the fashion empire, although the boutique provided an interesting backdrop to a story of women’s independence (of a much different kind than than the one currently taking place at Chloe Lane.)
The documentary, directed by stud filmmaker Bangst Anderson, will record the 100th anniversary the first woman in America to drive cross-country. Alice Ramsey, then 22 years old, drove a Maxwell Model D A from New York to San Francisco in 1909 on a challenge from the Maxwell-Briscoe Car Company. A century later, car aficionado Rich Anderson set out to replicate the trip. After verifying only one Maxwell Model DA left in existence — one not for sale — Anderson rebuilt a “new” one with parts from around the world. His daughter, Emily, began retracing Alice’s steps in an epic joy ride on June 9, leaving New York City en route to San Francisco. The car passed through Park City’s Main Street with little fanfare on June 29, traveling somewhat slower than the car’s top speed of 40 miles per hour (a source of angst on more major roads for Utah drivers — imagine that).
