ADVISOR IN RESIDENCE OFFICE HOURS

Which session length is right for me?

  • If you have general questions you’d like insight on such as career guidance, a 30-minute session should be right for you.
  • If you’d like project review with feedback, please schedule a 60-minute session so your advisor has time to review and provide detailed feedback during your session.
  • If you’re looking for feedback on a screenplay or pilot, we recommend you consider our self-paced or live online courses.

What type of work can I receive feedback on?
  • Each Advisor in Residence may provide slightly different services. Advisors will review projects in advance to provide feedback during 60-minute sessions (ex: short film review, pitch deck review). Advanced project feedback is not available during our 30-minute sessions. 30-minute sessions do allow for conversation around works-in-progress or practice pitches, but advisors do not review work in advance.
  • Advisors in Residence are not able to provide feedback on scripts, pilots, treatments, or outlines - if you’re looking for this guidance, consider one of our live online or self-paced courses, which offer feedback from advisors at various points during the course.

If you have another project not listed, please reach out to collabsupport@sundance.org to confirm whether our AiR can provide feedback.

How do I share my work for a 60-minute session with the Advisor?

  • Please include a link to the project you’d like to discuss on the Calendly booking page. If applicable, include a password if needed.
  • For documents, we recommend using Google Drive. You can upload a document there and then share a link. Set share settings to “Anyone with the link” to ensure the Advisor can see your work. If you aren’t familiar with Google Drive, you can find a tutorial here.

I need to reschedule, how do I choose a different meeting time?

You can reschedule your meeting once with 48 hours or more advance notice. Sessions can be rescheduled by clicking the link in your confirmation email, pending the advisors' availability. If you see no times available, contact collabsupport@sundance.org for more information.

How do I cancel my scheduled meeting?
