Hear from Hollywood insiders RJ Mitte (“Breaking Bad”, “Switched at Birth”), Peter Farrelly (writer, director and producer of "There’s Something About Mary”, “Dumb and Dumber” and “Dumb and Dumber To"), Lizzy Weiss Screenwriter/Showrunner ("Switched at Birth", "Blue Crush”), Tery Lopez, the Director of Diversity at the WGA, J.R. Martinez (“All My Children” and “Dancing with the Stars” champion), Amy Purdy (Paralympian Medalist and “Dancing with the Stars” finalist) and others who are working hard to change the way society views people with disabilities. Moderated by Adam Moore (National Director of EEO & Diversity at SAG-AFTRA).
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.
