Truly Independent Visions

Where better than a bowling alley for truly independent filmmakers
to strike up a conversation about cinema outside the box? Bold,
innovative, forward-thinking storytelling doesn’t just happen – it
takes an active imagination and media technology that supports
cinematic innovation. Join intrepid filmmakers who know that
you have to throw a lot of gutter balls before you hit a strike.
Filmmakers Sydney Freeland (Drunktown’s Finest), Charlie McDowell
(The One I Love) and David Zellner (Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter)
join Sundance Film Festival Senior Programmer David Courier to
discuss what it takes to realize a truly independent vision.

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.
