12 Independent Films to Make Digital Debut via Sundance Institute’s Artist Services Program

Sundance Institute today announced the 12 independent films that will make their digital debut this spring through a variety of platforms and storefronts, via the Institute’s Artist Services program, which provides artists supported by the Institute with exclusive opportunities for creative self-distribution, marketing and financing for their work. Titles began premiering today, and will roll out through June 3. For details visit sundance.org/nowplaying.

Titles will be available on a variety of platforms, including iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Microsoft Xbox, Sony Entertainment Network, SundanceNOW, VUDU and YouTube.

Among the films making their digital premieres is A River Changes Course, which won the World Cinema Jury Prize: Documentary at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and paints an intimate portrait of the lives of three families struggling to maintain their traditions and way of life amidst the rapid changes and hard choices forced by globalization in Cambodia.

Additional documentaries making their digital premieres include two titles (DeNADIE, Rivers of Men) by acclaimed Mexican documentary filmmaker Tin Dirdamal. DeNADIE won the World Cinema Audience Award: Documentary at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

Jack Kerouac: King of the Beats premiered at the first Sundance Film Festival in 1985. The film provides an insightful look into the short but prolific life of the Beat Generation writer. The spring lineup also features another renowned Jack in The Ballad of Ramblin’ Jack, which pieces together live performances and documentary footage to paint the life story of American folk performer Jack Elliot, told through the eyes of his daughter.

Narrative films include Sleep Dealer, which was developed with the support of Sundance Institute’s Feature Film Program, participating in both the 2000 June Screenwriters Lab and the 2001 Directors Lab. The film went on to win both the Alfred P. Sloan Prize and the Waldo Salt Screeningwriting Award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

The Cold Lands is being released as part of a collaboration between Artist Services and Cinereach, which allows partner organizations to select films they have supported to receive access to the best-in-class digital distribution arrangements secured by Artist Services.

The Sundance Institute Artist Services program provides artists with exclusive opportunities for creative self-distribution, marketing and financing solutions for their work. The exclusive aggregation partner for distribution across all portals participating in the Artist Services program is Cinedigm. These deals were brokered via pro bono legal services generously provided by law firm O’Melveny & Myers, which has built the legal framework for the Artist Services program and participating filmmakers since its inception. The Artist Services program is made possible by generous support from CreativeFuture.
