Building a Home for Independent Voices & Storytelling

In a landscape of big-budget franchises, algorithm-driven recommendations and endless content choices, where do bold, original and independent stories find their audience? As the premier streaming destination for independent film, Sundance Now sponsors this conversation with visionary filmmakers, curators and innovators to explore what it means to discover, share and celebrate independent cinema.

This panel will dive into what “independence” really means today — from production and distribution to curation and community — and how a streaming platform like Sundance Now can amplify independent voices and reconnect audiences with the spirit of discovery that made them fall in love with movies in the first place.
