Under the creative guidance of Satter, the programs are led by Labs Director Ilyse ​ McKimmie (Screenwriters Intensive) and Senior Manager Shira Rockowitz (FilmTwo). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Screenwriters Intensive Launched in 2013,, the Screenwriters Intensive provides emerging screenwriters with the opportunity to hone ​ ​ their craft in a two-day concentrated workshop focused on the further development of a fiction feature screenplay. Past projects supported at the Screenwriters Intensive include Spa Night, written and directed by Andrew Ahn, ​ ​ and Monsters and Men, written and directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green; both filmmakers return as advisors for ​ ​ this year’s program. The Sundance Institute Screenwriters Intensive is made possible with leadership support from the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation. ​ ​ The 2018 Screenwriters Intensive Fellows are: Clara Aranovich (writer/director, Mayacamas), Iyabo ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Boyd (writer/director, Kayla and Eddie, en Français), Emma Dudley (writer, Eggshells), Melissa Hickey ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (writer/director, Panic), Tani Ikeda (co-writer/director, Sealskin Woman), A-Ian Holt (co-writer, Sealskin ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Woman), Tory Kamen (writer, Eleanor Invisible), Gabriella Moses (writer/director, Leche), Alicia D. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ortega (writer, Righteous Acts), Meedo Taha (writer/director, Other People), Roger Ross Williams ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (co-writer/director, The Life and Death of Cassandro) and David Teague (co-writer, The Life and Death of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cassandro).

These barriers are heightened for women and people of color. The Intensive, which launches this annual program, provides specialized creative and tactical guidance for Fellows.

Cast: Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Patrick Wilson, Carla Gugino. Summary: Science fiction/superhero film based on the graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. Set in an alternative 1985 US governed by Richard Nixon with occasional flashbacks to prior events. Masked superheroes were a normal part of American life through the 1960s. In Vietnam, the Comedian (Morgan) wields a flame thrower and engages in ground combat operations until the radioactive blue giant Dr. Manhattan (Crudup) arrives, at the behest of President Nixon, and ends the war in a matter of weeks. A formation of surrendering Viet Cong bow down to the Dr. like a god. In a Saigon bar shortly thereafter, the Comedian is confronted by his pregnant Vietnamese mistress about the future of their unborn child and he calmly shoots her. After Vietnam, masked superheroes were forced into retirement. However, as Cold War tensions between the US and the Soviet Union begin to rise, a washed up but no less determined masked vigilante named Rorschach (Haley) discovers a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As Rorschach and his small group of retired superheroes investigate, they discover a deeper conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future.

Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.

  • The World to Come
    THE WORLD TO COME Directed by Mona Fastvold *World Premiere - 2020 Venice International Film Festival - Competition* PRESS CONTACTS US Press: Emilie Spiegel, [email protected] Intl Press: Claudia Tomassini, [email protected] SYNOPSIS In this frontier romance framed by the four seasons and set against the backdrop of rugged terrain, Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves powerfully, irrevocably drawn to each other. As grieving Abigail tends to the needs of her taciturn husband Dyer (Casey Affleck) and Tallie bristles at the jealous control of her husband Finney (Christopher Abbot), both women are illuminated and liberated by their intense bond, filling a void in their lives they never knew existed. Director Mona Fastvold (The Sleepwalker, co-writer of CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER and VOX LUX) examines the interior lives of two women resisting constraints, giving voice to their experiences. Scripted by Jim Shepard and Ron Hansen (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), THE WORLD TO COME explores how isolation is overcome by the power of imagination and human connection. Q&A with Director Mona Fastvold First of all, tell me how the material came your way. It’s an interesting pairing of a novelist adapting a short story — was this a script that came to you fully formed? The script came to me from one of our producers, Whitaker Lader, who had seen my previous film. She and Casey had been developing the script with the screenwriters, Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard, for some time. I was immediately struck by it.
