The annual Sundance festival, started by Robert Redford and named after one of best known characters, is the annual film festival that celebrates and rewards the American independent film scene. It's also a place where the major studios go to spend big money in picking up the best films for distribution and to sway the new kids on the block into coming to work with them.
The likes of Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Wed Anderson & Steven Soderbergh can all be marked as some of those who got their big breakout moments thanks to Sundance.
Check out the website for this years festival and if you want to know more I can not recommend Peter Biskind's book Down & Dirty Pictures enough.
