Even though we’re separated physically, our Online Meetups allow you to connect with other creators. The Online Meetup begins with everyone viewing works-in-progress by Sundance Co//ab community members then listen and learn from live feedback between the creator and a Sundance Advisor. Afterwards, we all meet and mingle in virtual breakout rooms to discuss our thoughts on the works-in-progress and our own projects.


Join us for our first Online Meetup on May 7, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm (PT) as our artist-in-residence, filmmaker Éva Gárdos, shares her insight and advice as she answers questions from the creators of two works-in-progress selected from short films posted to Share Your Work.
