Festivals

This year’s batch of breakouts-in-the-making include actors, directors, and writers (and, oftentimes, permutations of all three), all of whom are poised to impact the industry for years to come.

The year’s first big festival serves as a showcase for indie talent on the rise, on its way to mainstream dominance, and everything in between.

This year’s Sundance Film Festival is mere days from unspooling in Park City, Utah, heralding a brand new year of indie filmmaking.

The festival will play home to the world premiere of Dan Reed’s latest documentary, plus the Steve Bannon-centric “The Brink.”

The forward-thinking section dedicated to experimental media has grown enough to now occupy two different venues at the festival.
