Just how does a film get from a market or festival screening to your local theatre? And what is the deal-making process that filmmakers and distributors go through to get the film out there? Advances, prints and the ads, cross collateralization, percentage splits, delivery materials, home-video rights and the elusive definition of net profits are just a few of the topics to be covered. Types of films that will be discussed range from the marginally commercial (The Golden Boat), the art house hot (Poison). And the larger budget big-name independent feature (Night on Earth).

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. 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.
