SLAMDANCE FILMMAKER FEEDBACK
"It was an honor and a privilege to premiere at Slamdance. We felt like the luckiest filmmakers ever; we signed papers with New Line right after our first screening and once we could announce that sale, got to enjoy a wonderful week in Park City."
-Seth Gordon, director, THE KING OF KONG, which premiered at Slamdance 2007
"We were thrilled to be chosen as the 2007 Slamdance Opening Night Film. We knew that every major film buyer in the world would be in Park City and that the exposure would be invaluable to us. Sure enough, the screening lead to some incredible reviews and a fantastic theatrical sale to Magnolia"
-Allan Moyle, director, WEIRDSVILLE, which premiered at Slamdance 2007
"Slamdance is a killer platform to launch your film. You get the excitement and industry attention of Park City without getting lost in the shuffle. Slamdance has a smaller, more select slate of films so that each project can be given its due attention."
-Jeremy Coon, producer, AMERICAN FORK, which premiered at Slamdance 2007
"Being a first-time filmmaker was a pretty lonely experience until I
got into Slamdance. The festival is really a community - the
organizers, filmmakers, and Slamdance audience all understand what it
means to make an indie film, and they couldn't be more fired up to
support you along the way."
-Adam Hootnick, director, UNSETTLED, which premiered at Slamdance 2007 winning the Grand Jury Award Best Documentary Feature
"As emerging filmmakers at our debut festival, we could not have been in a better place. Slamdance is pure festival and we were honored to be a part of it."
-Marilyn Agrelo & Amy Sewell, director/producer MAD HOT BALLROOM, which premiered at Slamdance 2005
"Slamdance was the first festival to show my film and winning was totally unexpected. Since then it's been picked up by a whole bunch of other fests, about two per month which is amazing. I've even just finished my first paid job as an animator."
-Robin Fuller, director, THE BALLAD OF MARY SLADE, which premiered at Slamdance 2007 winning the Grand Jury Award Best Animated Short
"Slamdance provided us with the invaluable opportunity to meet the folks who would eventually become the domestic distributor for our film!"
-Lynn Shelton, writer/director, WE GO WAY BACK, Grand Jury Award Best Feature Slamdance 2006
"Put simply, picking Slamdance to premiere our film was the best decision we ever made. They not only got us press, buzz and audiences but we connected with a fantastic group
of people who want to give filmmakers and the stories they tell a chance to be seen and heard."
-Patty Kim and Chris Sheridan, co-directors, ABDUCTION The Megumi Yokota Story, Audience Award Best Documentary, Slamdance 2006
"By occupying the place that all other festivals have vacated (including Sundance), Slamdance has the courage to go for truly independent voices without concern for the star or the Hollywood system. Thank you
-Philippe Diaz, director, THE EMPIRE IN AFRICA, Grand Jury Award Best Documentary Feature Slamdance 2006
"Winning the Slamdance award was the best thing that's happened in my filmmaking to date. Up until now, I was creating in my living room. Now my work is out there, and all sorts of new possibilities are opening up."
-Troy Morgan, director, DRAGON, Grand Jury Award Best Animated Short, Slamdance 2006
"Selling a debut film at Slamdance felt like finding a good foster home for my rebellious little movie."
-Philip Anagnos, director, BRUCE HAACK: KING OF TECHNO, which premiered at Slamdance 2004
