This is it! Unofficially, we've awarded our jury for 2023 at Sundance Film Festival
Ah, Sundance Film Festival - the mental state for film makers and filmmakers. It's a place where both the ingenious filmmaking and high elevation will leave your in awe. The "Sundance Sickness" symbolizes the irresistible desire to be present at all the parties at the same time and the inevitable virus which will afflict your body as a result from handshakes and chatting with friends who are in noisy spaces, and hardly sleeping.
Without further delay this is our curation group's non-officialaward recipients...
