Storytime

This year, we launch THE STORYTIME PROJECT, an effort to collect and capture the stories – from the screen and from the street – that make Sundance what it is. We hope you’ll contribute to our project, because it’s a work in progress.
It’s meant to live and grow. Just like Sundance.

"My friends Erin and I were eating lunch at Zona Rosa the day after seeing the premier of Pierce Brosnan's movie "The Greatest"..." Liz Finden

Kevin Jones

I was overcome by the atmosphere, not in the sense that the air was so thin up in the mountains, but more in the sense that the community there was something I, an aspiring writer-director, had hoped was out there in what my Video Production teacher liked to call 'the real world.' Kevin Jones

Wendell B. Harris , Jr.

Jessie Fuller

Tom DiCillo

"When we were first invited, the general assessment of the Festival at that time was that it was still a granola festival, so I kind of said no ..." Tom DiCillo

Lili Taylor

John Cooper

"I’ve been doing this for 20 years, and every year I still have the fear that somehow something’s happened in the ..." John Cooper
