What's Run Time Got to Do with It?

While the industry proclaims its desperation for good scripts and new talent, the shorts programs at Sundance has been home to creativity in abundance, not to mention the early work of tomorrow’s most exciting filmmakers. Shorts are a form unto themselves, with structural challenges quite different from those of features. At the same time, they are often the precursors to longer work, and therein lies another trick of adaptation—from short to feature. Join Ryan Fleck, Kevin Everson, Cam Archer, Angela Robinson in a conversation about all things short—from raison d’être to taking the next step.

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.
