Hello,
Films selected to play at Sundance must be independently produced, and they are usually available for acquisition at the festival.
Put simply, an independent film is a movie that’s produced and funded outside the major film studio system. Whereas big blockbusters and major theatrical releases are often created, funded, and distributed by studios — think Paramount, Sony, Disney, and Warner Bros. — independent films get their start with independent production companies or filmmakers who get enough investment (or invest their own capital) to get the film off the ground.
But producing the film is only half the battle; it still needs to get in front of an audience, and that’s where festivals like Sundance and distributors enter the picture. Distributors attend the festival in order to decide whether to acquire a film to play in theaters in the future and/or stream on platforms like Netflix, Amazon, and HBO Go. When an independent film gets selected for Sundance, its chances of being bought by the distribution arm of a studio (like Lionsgate or Fox Searchlight) or an independent distributor (like A24 or Broad Green) go way up. In recent years, Netflix and Amazon Studios have also had deep pockets for acquisition at Sundance
