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 LOUDRudy 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.
