Peter Greenberg Works the Red Carpet

If our experience early this year at Sundance taught us anything, it's that film festivals can be more work than fun: After fighting for an overpriced hotel room, you'll have to claw your way up to the bar and elbow your way into screenings. So we're thrilled to see our pal Peter Greenberg promoting alternative film fests.

Peter loves the Maui Film Festival, where screenings are held on the beach under the stars. He also gives it up for the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, where the movies are for kids--and directed by kids. And the Palm Springs fest draws plenty of stars without the haughty atmosphere of, yep, Sundance.

After the jump, Peter hobnobs in Palm Springs with Brad Pitt, Kate Winslet and the late Sydney Pollack.
