NOW SHOWING:

SUNDANCE INSTITUTE'S CREATIVE DISTRIBUTION FELLOWSHIP 

Now accepting applications for films preparing for a 2018 or early 2019 release who are open to a creative release - i.e. without a traditional distributor.

The Fellowship includes grant funds, access to premium pre-negotiated distribution deals, and connections to experienced industry mentors with the Institute's Creative Distribution team playing a strategic advisory role. We're currently engaged in the Fellowship's pilot year, and supporting two films: Columbus, a fiction feature; and Unrest, a documentary. Both films have excelled with the framework provided by the Fellowship and we are thrilled with the results. Case studies will be finalized on each film in early 2018.

We are seeking films at all budget levels featuring distinctive, singular voices. We will select three or four films on a rolling basis, and we will support fellows during their initial release period (6 - 12 months). Films will be selected by a committee comprised of the Creative Distribution team along with key representatives from the Institute's Feature Film, Documentary, and Festival programs.
