Recorded live just a few days ago at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Academy Award®-nominated director (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) — and Dolby Institute Fellowship winner — Carlos López Estrada brings together five filmmakers, each with debut feature films in the US Dramatic Competition this year. “I have experienced what all five or panelists are experiencing right now. It's this insane, adrenaline rush of playing your first movie for groups of audiences who love film. And it's the most magical thing in the world. So we're so happy that all five people who you're about to meet agreed to come here to share a little bit about how they ended up here. And I hope you got to see some of these films because I got a chance to see all five and they're all truly magical.” —Carlos López Estrada, Director, "Blindspotting,” “Raya and the Last Dragon,” “Summertime” Today’s panel includes directors: - Alessandra Lacorazza (“In the Summers”) - Laura Chinn (“Suncoast”) - Titus Kaphar (“Exhibiting Forgiveness”) - India Donaldson (“Good One”) - Sean Wang (“Dìdi”) — 2024 Academy Award-nominee for Best Documentary Short Film (“Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó”) and Winner of the Dolby Institute Fellowship (“Dìdi”) Once again, this discussion was part of Antigravity Academy’s Satellite Sessions — free monthly conversations with high-level individuals in film and tv, whose objective is to decentralize resources/information and make them available to as many up-and-coming filmmakers as possible — co-presented by CAPE USA (Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment).
