Do you have a question about writing, producing or next steps in your career? Sundance Collab is offering 15-minute one-on-one sessions with our Advisor-in-Residence to provide our Creator+ and All Access members with individual guidance on craft, creativity and career development.


A few notes about our one-on-one sessions:

  • Space is limited, on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Registration is limited to one session per member per month.
  • New times slots are made available at the end of the month for the following month, and are announced in the monthly member newsletter.
  • Due to closely scheduled sessions, you must be on time in order to attend.
  • When you register, you will be prompted to submit your questions in advance to give your Advisor time to review them prior to your meeting.
  • While we welcome a broad range of questions and queries, Advisors will not be able to provide specific feedback on work-in-progress during these sessions. To get project feedback, view this page.
