A dozen episodic short-form stories — with topics ranging from hip-hop to poetry, true crime to family strife — will vie for attention at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival’s Indie Episodic program.
The showcase for episodic stories, made for TV or web consumption, marks its second year at Sundance. The 12 entries in the program were announced Monday by Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute.
The institute Monday also announced four programs in its Special Events program, highlighting long-form and miniseries titles.
And programmers announced the slate of 73 short films — chosen from more than 10,000 submissions — that will play the festival, which runs from Jan.
