Like the scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Robert Redford used the money he earned from making the movie, and took a leap of faith to buy land and launch a new business.
Brent Beck went from working in the Sundance Lodge gift shop and scouting the country to find American crafted items that fit into the image of the lodge, to catalog buyer.
More than just the owner, Robert Reford symbolizes the environment and arts that are represented in the carefully-selected items sold in Sundance Catalog.
The Sundance Catalog is dedicated to helping American artisans by marketing their creations and generating cash to support their unique work and to to protect wilderness areas.
Hattie says that Redford has built a solid brand around the Sundance name by using it on the wilderness lodge and the catalog that goes to millions every year.
