Financing the Independent Feature Film in the 90's

Moderator John Pierson will host a panel featuring several case studies from this year's Festival program. Despite the difficulties in financing, distributing and exhibiting the independent feature film, each year has seen an increase in production. Where are the monies coming from? What is the expectation of financial return? Has the recent move toward international co-productions had a major impact? Are independent feature films financially successful? These are just a few of the issues which will be addressed.

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.
