Sundance Institute has several independent short films it wants the internet to watch. The filmmaking organization will distribute nine selections from its recent Short Film Challenge across various digital platforms starting February 3, 2015.
The Sundance Institute Short Film Challenge was created to help inspire conversation around and generate solutions to global problems like poverty. Sundance asked creators to submit their completed film or story ideas based on this philanthropic idea on creative crowdsourcing platform Tongal. The Institute received 1,387 submissions from 89 different countries.
Out of these submissions, five winners were selected for the Short Film Challenge and awarded $10,000 as well as Sundance Festival attendance. All five films are set for digital distribution, starting with Man in the Maze, from U.S. creators Phil Buccellato and Jesse Ash, which will be released via the Arizona Daily Star.
