The new documentary follows a group of young, enthusiastic filmmakers on a thirteen-year quest to uncover the true meaning of independent cinema. Initially meant to be a homage to the Sundance Film Festival, it soon developed into an in-depth survey of the challenges faced by young directors who operate outside the Hollywood studio system.

Film festivals such as Sundance provide independent filmmakers with a global platform that tangibly impacts the sales and distribution of their films. Due to the pandemic, film festivals are being conducted virtually, which has affected the already fragile state of independent cinema.

Robert Redford, veteran Hollywood actor and the founder of Sundance Institute, watched an earlier version of the documentary after his wife chanced upon it at an exhibition in Monaco. After enthusiastically receiving the film, he later advised Starks to edit and re-shoot certain sequences.

The resulting product is now available on streaming services including Tubi and Google Play. It features diverse perspectives of actors, experimental filmmakers and producers on the festival and its far-reaching influence on art-house cinema.

Sundance is widely regarded as the Mecca of independent filmmaking, and the selection process can be both stressful and competitive. Starks’ documentary is a deep-dive into the behind-the-scenes hurdles, anxiety and tenacity of young directors who set out to realize their Sundance dream.

Julian Starks and his team were faced with unforeseen obstacles and sacrifices during the course of shooting. It captures their personal problems as well as the larger, shared struggles of the global community of independent filmmakers.

According to a spokesperson, “A Journey to Sundance is a timely reminder of the crushing reality of the fierce competition and daily struggles faced by independent directors.”

With the latest announcement, Julian Starks continues his commitment to empowering cinephiles and aspiring directors with a truthful representation of the independent filmmaking experience.
