The Sundance Film Festival has seem some big buys, and renewed interest especially for the small screen.

The majority of films debuting at Sundance are still in need of wide distribution. Some believe having the festival in person for the first time since 2020 will help.

Hundreds of businesses rely on major commercial and arts gatherings for much of their annual income.

Sundance, one of the biggest opportunities for filmmakers to get distribution deals, is online for the second time this year.

The Sundance Film Festival, for example, just canceled in-person events two weeks before they were set to begin.

“And if my daughter can see it one day, that’d be great,” says Lee Isaac Chung, writer-director of “Minari.”

This year, the Sundance Film Festival will feature a category of documentaries and special projects about climate change.
