Through visual storytelling, directors can creat signature narratives. How do directors influence and redefine a scripted story cinematically? In what ways do they shape the material and make it their own, given the demands of the collaborative medium? When writer/director take their scripts to the screen, do they have to “fire the writer” symbolically in order to tell their stories visually? Taking into account preproduction, production, and editing processes, this panel of Sundance filmmakers will study disparate directors’ philosophies, as well as the way they actually operate. This panel is sponsored by RKO pictures.
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.
