2018 SUNDANCE WINNERS
Article By John Pugh
The 2018 Sundance Film Festival is nearly finished. The Award Ceremony presented 28 awards to the fellow filmmakers. The Award Show was hosted by comedian-actor Jason Mantzoukas, and had some memorable moments, including; a fun moment between Nick Offerman and his co-star Kiersey Clemons from HEARTS BEAT LOUD. Rudy Valdez gave a beautiful tearful speech after winning the US Documentary Audience Award for THE SENTENCE.
There were a lot of great films that played the festival and we hope they all find an outlet to be seen by more audiences.
