These days, when a film can have more producing credits than cast members, the role of the creative producer, who is at the core of many of these films, can be overlooked. In taking the lead role in optioning material, working as an invaluable partner to the writer and director, putting together key creative elements of the film, overseeing production and editing, and even contributing to marketing and distribution, the creative producer is pivotal to the evolution of the film. Yet they are often the unseen hands, the behind-the-scenes magicians. Who are these people and how do they do it all within the limitations inherent to independent film?
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.
