We are thrilled to have announced the 112 feature films for the 2019 Sundance Film Festival!

Check out this press roundup and stay tuned for more announcements next week.

“The 35th Sundance’s mantra is more. Today’s unveiling of the U.S. Competition and World Cinema Competition Dramatic and Documentary categories plus the Midnight, Kids and NEXT slates for the 2019 SFF reveals, it is more representation, more equality and more outward looking.” - Deadline

“The numbers on this year’s slate demonstrate the Institute’s commitment to fostering diversity in filmmaking.” - Entertainment Weekly

“With an unusual air of freshness and consolidation feeling like a newfound strength, the Sundance Film Festival unveiled its 2019 program Wednesday.” -Los Angeles Times

“Sundance once again puts…male-dominated showcases to shame, unveiling a [U.S.] competition slate that is 53% female.”- Variety

“The Robert Redford-founded festival never shies away from headline-grabbing fare, and the upcoming edition will be no exception.” - The Hollywood Reporter

Photographed Sadie Dupuis and Lizzo for Google back in December. They wrote a song together remotely using only Google Docs, then met in person for the first time in Brooklyn to record it. 

Great video of the whole process (directed by Mixtape Club, produced by Eddy Vallante) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-ZcJ19Tgpc

Some stills I shot for the film Army of God (not yet released) written/directed by Todd Wiseman of Hayden 5, Produced by Eddy Vallante and Javier Gonzalez.

It was pretty alarming to witness these types of scenes take place in NYC, even though they were being produced for a fictional film. Standing directly in front someone firing blanks at you from an automatic weapon is also pretty uncomfortable.

Love this BTS image of the set published in the NY Times for Sunday’s New York Panorama by Ben Norman.

ACTOR SEEKS ROLE: A frustrated, out of work actor turns to medical acting to pay his bills, offering intensely committed performances to students who are simply trying to diagnose symptoms, not evaluate believability … (read more + watch the film here).

FiftyThree and Guggenheim Bring Digital Art to Classrooms

For the past 44 years, the Guggenheim Museum has sent teaching artists into New York City’s public schools through a program called Learning Through Art (LTA). By studying not only art, but the artistic process, students are taught to think more creatively. The year-long program targets 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, a developmentally pivotal age when kids typically decide whether they’re “creative” or not.

Understanding technology’s ability to accelerate learning, the Guggenheim introduced our app Paper and iPad into the LTA program. Under the expert tutelage of teaching artist Jeff Hopkins, students from the 6th grade class at P.S. 86 used Paper alongside traditional art tools. Especially cool is that the resulting work is now on display at the Guggenheim Museum! The exhibition ends June 17th, so be sure to check it out if you’re in the area.

To commemorate this special program, the talented filmmaking duo Michael Tyburski and Eddy Vallante created this short film in collaboration with our team. Enjoy!
