Road to Sundance

In January 2011, a bunch of filmmakers embarked on a road trip from Hollywood to the Sundance Film Festival. Their goal was to make a movie about a young actress struggling to make her dreams come true. . For eleven days, these filmmakers roamed across deserts, canyons, salt flats and snowy mountains. Their script was little more than a rough outline, so they carried on down the road, stopping to shoot a scene whenever they felt the magic of a particular location. Road to Sundance is a surreal and imperfect film, a project born of passion and instinct that celebrates the power of following our dreams.

Directed by Tak Kuroha, Road to Sundance leans on a strong ensemble — Stacey Ann Shevlin, Tiffani Fest, Ben Wise — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2011.
