Miyubi

  • 2017 Sundance Film Festival

Description

Félix and Paul work with a fantastic cast to create this 40-minute comedy experience that lets you inhabit the heart and chassis of Miyubi, a domestic family robot. The year is 1982, and Dad is finally home for Christmas. To make up for multiple absences, he buys his kids a Japanese toy robot. Everyone is thrilled (except Grandpa), but will the gift heal the family’s wounds or will Miyubi also come to know the pain of obsolescence?

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
