Need some help with these questions about the Sundance Film Festival?
December 172009
I plan on sending an indie film to the 2011 Sundance Film festival in Utah and need to know some details about its procedures and regulations. What is the most films any ONE person can send in? Is the director of the film required to attend the screening? And if so how many tickets do they give you? Is the cast and crew allowed to attend? Also what is the absolute dealine for submitting your film? Please no links to the official Sundance website because I have spent hours searching for these answer there with no luck. Thanks for your help.
You can submit as many films as you like. You do not need to attend the screening. Anyone is allowed to attend as long as they have tickets.

You can submit any number of films you want.
I don’t know if a director, cast and the rest of the crew have to attend the screening.
You asked us not to send you any links to the official site, but please just look at this one I’m giving you. I have looked into Sundance myself and have run across this page before. The links include dates to submit your film and the cost for each date, and then guidelines and rules for submissions.
Enjoy!
