Adobe Celebrates New Filmmakers at Sundance Film Festival
Adobe is a sponsor for the NEXT category of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival
Adobe announced that it will be an official sponsor for the NEXT category of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival that will take place from January 19 until January 29, 2012 in Park City, Utah. The company focuses on NEXT films which stretch limited resources to create original and inspiring art. Adobe will also be hosting two panels at the festival: How Technology is Influencing Storytelling and Film, and Modern Storytelling, a Case Study by Vincent Laforet.
The two Adobe-hosted panels feature industry leaders in visual effects and digital filmmaking, including: Oscar-winner Rob Legato, visual effects supervisor for HUGO, Avatar and Apollo 13; Sharlto Copley, lead in Oscar-nominated District 9; Vincent Laforet, director and Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer; and Jacob Rosenberg, filmmaker, author and digital media expert for Bandito Brothers, a Los Angeles-based media company.
Sundance Film Festival attendees are invited to join both Adobe-hosted panels at the Microcinema at New Frontier at the times listed below:
- Friday, January 20, 2:30-3:30 p.m. – “Adobe Presents: How technology is influencing storytelling and film” moderated by Sharlto Copley, with panelists: Rob Legato, Vincent Laforet, and Jacob Rosenberg
- Wednesday, January 25, 2:30-3:30 p.m. – “Adobe presents: Modern storytelling, a case study by Vincent Laforet” featuring Vincent Laforet
The NEXT film category at Sundance consists of nine films being recognized for innovation and creativity in digital filmmaking on low-or-no budgets. Films in this category tell life stories of people from all walks of life including a young, talented singer/songwriter in “I’m not a Hipster’, a 10-year old girl left to her own devices by an absent father in “KidThing”, and a nurse who tries to find next of kin for a recently deceased patient in “Pursuit of Loneliness.”
