Are you interested in meeting other Sundance Collab members in a casual, moderated space? Join Sundance Collab for Script Club, a virtual event series designed to spark conversations with screenwriters, filmmakers, and cinephiles from across the world.


Script Club is free to attend, but a free Sundance Collab account and advanced registration are required in order to receive the Zoom link for the event. You can attend as many events as you like as long as you abide by our Community Agreement.


For this first event, we will discuss the screenplay for the award-winning film CODA (2021), a coming-of-age comedy-drama written and directed by Sîan Heder. The feature film premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the U.S. Dramatic: Grand Jury, Directing, Audience, and Special Jury Prize for Ensemble Cast. It later received numerous accolades, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 94th Academy Awards.


As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents.


In preparation for the event, we recommend you first read the script, then watch the film on Apple+ . Check out the trailer here.


How Script Club Works:

  • Read the script in advance, watch the film if you can, then join us on Zoom for a lively discussion led by one of Sundance Collab’s Community Leaders.
  • The event will last approximately 90 minutes
  • We'll watch clips from the film, then break into interactive groups led by a Sundance Collab Community Leader to discuss the script and the film
  • We encourage joining our Community Forum on Discord to get prompts ahead of the event and continue the discussion with your peers afterwards
