On Tuesday, Kickstarter announced that some of its crowdfunding film projects have made the 2016 Sundance Film Festival list. The event is set to be held in Park City, Utah on January 21-31.
“Over the past couple of weeks — and with much anticipation! — the team at Sundance Film Festival has been revealing selections for January’s fest. Now that most of the featured flicks have been announced, we’re thrilled to report that, for the fifth year in a row, a bold selection of Kickstarter-funded works will be included. Hooray!
“This year at Sundance, we’ll be crossing our fingers for a great roster of docs and dramatic features in competition for major awards: NUTS!, Spa Night, Trapped, and When Two Worlds Collide. Documentary premieres include Film Hawk, Maya Angelou and Still I Rise (this team deserves major kudos for reaching their funding goal just a few short weeks ago), and Unlocking the Cage. Additional shorts in the mix include The Itching (Animated), The Procedure (Midnight), and Catching up (U.S. Narrative).
“A must-see event taking place at the festival will be Behind the Scenes with Anomalisa, featuring a special screening and Q&A with the film’s creators, Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson (and, not to mention, we’re sending major congrats to the Anomalisa team for snagging a Golden Globes nomination for Best Animated Feature). We’re also tremendously excited to report that The Skinny — created by and starring YouTube filmmaker Jessie Kahnweiler, & co-starring Illeana Douglas — also made it into the Special Events section. Additional shorts in the mix include The Itching (Animated), The Procedure (Midnight), and Catching up (U.S. Narrative).”
Kickstarter started also noted that its film team will be on the ground in Park City to cheer along and celebrate with the creators that brought these films to life.
