Institute History
Description
When the assault of a coal miner’s daughter turns the local mine into a crime scene, the inhabitants of Black Rock are baffled to learn that the only word uttered by the victim after the attack was "pineapple." Tensions rise as the mine’s opportunistic owner uses the investigation as an excuse to shutter the dying operation indefinitely. Faced with solving the town’s now-dreadful economic future, the sheriff dedicates himself to the mystery surrounding who, or what, pineapple is. The Festival will premiere three short form episodes of this uniquely cinematic drama series.
Screens with Midnight Episodic Showcase.
— Adam Montgomery

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.
