I loved watching I PLAY ROCKY directed by Peter Farrelly, written by Peter Gamble and starring Anthony Ippolito along with a great cast. It had so much humor, heart and an emotional connection about believing in yourself. High recommend!!

Celebrating the visionary founder of the Sundance Institute Robert Redford’s birthday, and the incredible, change-making experience I had working with him. He was an extraordinary artist, advocate and guiding light for all our work supporting independent cinematic voices!
Today we celebrate Robert Redford’s birthday and reflect on the remarkable legacy of an artist, advocate, and founder whose belief in independent voices changed cinema forever.
Through Sundance Institute, Redford built a community where storytellers could take creative risks, share their perspectives, and bring new stories to the world. His vision lives on in every artist we support.

Great to watch TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA, directed by Jane Schoenbrun and starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson which opens August 7. It’s a new kind of horror remake described by Vogue as “Mind-melting, thrillingly surreal and unquestionably audacious”.
