Depression, substance abuse, family strife, and suicide—has life always been this funny? Humor seems to be tackling pretty dark stuff. Is the comedy of perversity, taboo, and dysfunction just a means of coping? What are we allowed to laugh at? This panel, which includes filmmakers Jason Reitman (Juno, Thank You for Smoking), Clark Gregg (Choke), and Jay and Mark Duplass (Baghead), and screenwriter Pam Brady (Hamlet 2), may not have all the answers, but we’ll let them discuss the subject for a while.

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.
