In our Insider Sessions, Sundance Institute staff answer your questions and guide you through the process of applying to our labs, grant opportunities and the Sundance Film Festival.
For this Insider Session, join Mike Plante, senior programmer for Short Films, for an informational session about submitting your short film to the Sundance Film Festival. Get an inside look into the film selection process, debunking myths around festival programming, along with tips on what to prepare as you enter the festival circuit.
The conversation will be followed by a live Q&A session to answer your questions surrounding the submission process for this current festival cycle. If you're planning to apply, bring your questions about ideal runtimes, submitting works-in-progress, and more.
