For this in-person meetup during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Sundance Ignite brought together producers Eurie Chung (Third Act) and Christina Oh (Minari, Nightbitch, Bubble & Squeak) for a candid conversation about working with first-time directors, building and maintaining a great creative team, and what gravitates them to particular projects.


The Sundance Ignite program identifies and supports new voices and talent from the next generation of filmmakers by providing artistic and professional development to advance filmmakers to the next stage in their filmmaking. The yearlong Sundance Ignite x Adobe Fellowship is open to emerging documentary and fiction filmmakers from across the globe between the ages of 18 and 25. Learn more about Ignite here.
