Indiewire And Canada Goose Celebrate Sundance First Time Filmmakers

Talent in attendance will include Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne (“Am I OK?”), Hanna Bergholm (“Hatching”), Adamma Ebo (“Honk for Jesus, Save Your Soul”), Violet Columbus and Ben Klein (“The Exiles”), Saul Williams and Anisia Uzeymar (“Neptune Frost”), Nikyatu Jusu (“Nanny”), John Patton Ford (“Emily the Criminal”), and Eugene Yi and Julia Ha (“Free Chol Soo Lee”).

These are just some of the rising filmmakers who are premiering their first features and shorts at Sundance this year. When the Sundance lineup was announced, the festival’s director of programming Kim Yutani said she relished discovering 38 first-time filmmakers and “pushing the boundaries and changing the appetite of the market… bringing the margin closer to the mainstream.” The private event will take place on Monday, January 24 at 4 p.m. PT.
