Institute History
Description
When Dorothy is fired from a U.S. Senate campaign for taking her liberal extremist views too far, she must retreat to her conservative Texas hometown. Rooming with her estranged grandfather, she learns that her childhood bully is running as a Republican for state congress. Enraged and motivated to thwart him at all costs, Dorothy discovers a Texas loophole that allows her to run as a Republican, beat her bully, then give up her nomination to force a win for the long-suffering female Democratic candidate. All she has to do is convince her Texas neighbors she's just like them...

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.
