We’re always elated (but never surprised) to see new innovative work being made by Film Independent Fellows and Members. Even more rewarding is to see them being recognized for their creativity and vision. So we’re proud to report that 32 Fellows who have gone through our Artist Development programs and 36 Members who belong to our community will be headed to Park City next month to screen their latest films at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. (See below for the full list.)

Special kudos—and good luck wishes—go to the Fellows who will be competing in the U.S. Dramatic and Documentary competitions. In the Dramatic Competition, we have Jennifer Phang, Moon Molson, Mathew Medlin, Eric Lin, Summer Shelton, Andrew Bujalski, Houston King, Chloe Zhao, Angela Lee, Mollye Asher, Kyle Patric Alvarez and Sophia Lin. Competing for the Documentary award are Laura Gabbert, Clay Tweel, and Bill and Turner Ross.

We can’t wait to see what’s next for all our filmmakers at Sundance and for the rest of our talented Fellows and Members who are working to finish films in the upcoming year. Stay tuned. There’s sure to be many, many more success stories to share.
