2025 Sundance Institute Filmmakers Fund

10 projects were selected for the inaugural 2025 Sundance Institute Filmmakers Fund sponsored by Chase Sapphire Reserve. The fund provides $120,000 grants to artists from all backgrounds working on feature-length films worldwide. Recipients come from six Institute programs: the Feature Film Program, the Documentary Film Program, the Indigenous Program, Catalyst, the Artist Accelerator Program, and Ignite.

The grant is part of the Institute’s Artist Accelerator Program, which promotes artist development through yearlong fellowships, funding, and ongoing artist support.

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.
