This year’s Sundance Film Festival features a remarkable group of high-profile first-time filmmakers including Fran Kranz (Mass), Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson (Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)) and Robin Wright (Land). In the spirit of the festival’s track record of providing a home for some of Hollywood’s most exciting future directors, Entertainment Weekly and NRDC are gathering them for an in-depth roundtable discussion on the social power of their films, the challenges of getting their work to the screen, the experiencing of premiering their work virtually, and much more. Moderated by Entertainment Weekly movies editor David Canfield.
