Institute History
Description
Set in Wyoming in 1954, this is the story of the coming of age of Anna Mae Morgan, a stubborn, ardent, fourteen-year-old, and her struggle to forestall the forced sale of the family ranch. The family is fracturing—her father is laid up and dispirited after an accident, and her mother dismayed and on the point of leaving. Anna Mae forms am odd complicated alliance with the family's sometimes hired man, Buster and together they work to take over the father's custom hay stacking operation. Ultimately, the saving grace of Anna Mae's will and their common bond with the land pulls the Morgan family back together.

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.
