Cultural Impact Residency

Honoring the Legacy of Social Justice Leader Michael Latt

Each year, the Cultural Impact Residency honors the legacy of Michael Latt by supporting a new cohort of underrepresented storytellers committed to using their craft for cultural, social, and creative impact. These fellows represent a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and artistic approaches—united by a shared drive to create meaningful change through story.

See below to learn more about the eight fellows of the 2025 Residency and their supported projects—and dive deeper in our official announcement on the Sundance Institute blog.
