Robert Redford President and Founder, Sundance Institute Step Inside Sundance Institute Patron Circle Join US. “I always leave a Patron Circle event feeling energized. These are people who appreciate When you join Sundance Institute’s Patron Circle you not great filmmaking and love any opportunity only gain exclusive access to the Sundance Film Festival, to see or learn something new. Their you invest in the kind of original storytelling that has made enthusiasm keeps me going.” Sundance the world’s premier platform for American independent film. Known to filmmakers and film lovers John Cooper alike as a place where important stories are told, careers are Director, Sundance Film Festival launched, and innovative ideas enter the cultural dialogue, the Festival is just one program of the not-for-profit Sundance Institute, which provides a broad range of support to independent artists in film, theatre, and music.

Focused on cultivating stories that most truly represent an artist’s own voice and unique perspective, Sundance has supported the earliest work of leading filmmakers such as Darren Aronofsky, Paul Thomas Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and many others. Films like Reservoir Dogs, Boys Don’t Cry and Island President and plays like Spring Awakening are just a few of the projects developed with the support of the Institute’s Labs. Our annual Sundance Film Festival introduces global audiences to the best new work in independent film. Beasts of the Southern Wild, Little Miss Sunshine, and Exit Through the Gift Shop are a sample of the titles to premiere at the Festival.

Just as artists look to Sundance for assistance, the Institute relies on the generosity of individuals who share our belief that the world around us is enriched by authenticity and diversity in storytelling. Patron Circle membership grants you a tailor-made Festival experience, but more importantly, it ensures that the most compelling and innovative stories of our time will continue to be both told and heard.
