Honoring the legacy of social justice advocate Michael Latt, this six-month online residency program (March through August 2025) on Sundance Collab is designed to uplift early career underrepresented storytellers with a focus on creative, social and cultural impact and to galvanize them with opportunities, hope and creative support and inspiration.

Six fellows will be selected: two screenwriters/TV writers, two writer/directors, and two documentary filmmakers. These fellows will receive two dedicated meetings with Sundance Advisors to provide feedback on their work, bi-monthly cohort meetings to check in and share work, one meeting with Michelle Satter, Founding Senior Director, Artist Programs at Sundance Institute, and one meeting with the applicable Sundance Artist Program staff. Artists will also receive a Sundance Collab Library Pass to take advantage of the extensive Video Library, which includes Master Classes and Event Recordings, and two On Demand courses of their choosing.

Michael Latt was a passionate social justice leader whose purpose-driven work impacted countless communities. As an award-winning entertainment marketer by training, he harnessed the power of art, creativity and storytelling to create numerous nationwide impact initiatives, most recently as founder and CEO of Lead with Love. In his life, Michael made it his mission and purpose in life to transform society into one of love, equity, compassion and true justice. In his public work, he fought tirelessly for change through art, narrative and policy.
