That's a wrap! Unofficially, we've awarded our jury for 2023 at the Sundance Film Festival

It's the Sundance Film Festival - a cloud nine mindset for film makers and filmmakers. This is an event where innovative filmmaking techniques and high elevation will leave the viewer breathless. Where the "Sundance Sickness" symbolizes the irresistible desire to attend all the gatherings at one simultaneously as well as the inevitable infection that will besiege your bod as a result from shaking all the hands, chatting closely with people in noisy rooms even if you're not sleeping.

So without further adieu this is our curation group's not-officialaward winners...
