The New Faces of Sundance 2018

The Sundance Film Festival begins its 2018 run today, lasting through January 28. That means film industry insiders and fans alike are making the snowy trek to Park City, Utah to celebrate independence, risk taking and new voices in cinema in the spirit that Robert Redford worked to inspire when founding the festival back in 1981.

This year as cinephiles gather at a new venue, The Ray—a 400 seat theater located on Park Avenue—when the featured films light up the screens, faces, new and familiar, will greet viewers. Here, check out our lineup of up and comers, these are the accounts to watch for the next set of breakout stars.
