Institute History
Description
In 1992, teenager Sandi Tan and her friends Sophie and Jasmine shot Singapore’s first indie—a road movie called “Shirkers”—with their enigmatic American mentor, Georges Cardona. After shooting wrapped, Georges vanished with all the footage! 20 years later, the 16mm cans are recovered in New Orleans, sending Sandi—now a novelist in Los Angeles—on a new personal odyssey across two continents.

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.
