Apoyo a narradores independientes
"Sundance profundiza la determinación de los artistas, reuniéndolos en una comunidad creativa para que sepan que no están solos". — Robert Redford, presidente y fundador
Los programas para artistas del Instituto Sundance brindan apoyo dinámico en cada paso del viaje creativo para personas con voces distintas en el cine y la narración episódica. Cada programa consta de laboratorios, becas, intensivos, sesiones y recursos continuos para que los artistas fomenten sus proyectos y sostengan sus carreras. A través de actividades durante todo el año, brindamos el espacio para que los artistas creen y compartan sus historias con el mundo. Desde nuestros inicios, los programas del Instituto han apoyado a más de 11.000 artistas y han fomentado una comunidad para que los narradores independientes aprendan, crezcan, se conecten y retribuyan.
