By the time Tyler turned 10, he had lost his ability to walk, see, and hear. When he turned 12, scientists at University of Utah Health identified the mysterious illness hidden in Tyler’s DNA, a discovery that led to a life-changing treatment. Acclaimed directors Jeremiah Zagar (We the Animals) and Ross Kauffman (TIGERLAND) captured the story on film, which will premiere before the panel. They will be joined by Tyler’s mom and physician to discuss how the right combination of science, art, and genetics reveals everything about us.

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.
