Sundance Collab x Merrell Brand-Supported Storytelling Program

Merrell believes transformation begins the moment we step outside. The outside isn’t a distant destination defined by terrain, performance, or outcome. It is a shared journey that starts right outside your door. Meet the six visionary filmmakers in the Program’s inaugural class of 2026 and learn more about their supported projects.

Head over to the Sundance Institute blog to read our official announcement and get to know the artists shaping the future of brand-supported storytelling.
