Check the current festival format
Dates, cities, screening formats, passes and accreditation can change by edition. Use Sundance Institute’s official festival pages before booking travel or describing access.
Define the professional objective
A producer may seek sales or finance; a distributor may assess rights; a brand may explore a relevant partnership. Prepare a short brief that states the project, stage, territory and decision requested.
Separate tickets from industry access
A screening ticket does not confer entry to private meetings, press areas or partner events. Follow organiser, venue and host criteria and never promise access that is not confirmed.
Build a realistic appointment schedule
Allow for transport, queues, weather and post-screening conversations. Put screening locations, contacts and access notes in one current itinerary.
Respect films and rights
Follow review embargoes, photography rules and confidentiality. A conversation about a title does not grant commercial, talent or content rights.
How Access supports Sundance
Access by ICON IMAGE can coordinate confirmed participation, professional introductions, appointment schedules, guest logistics and private hosting around the festival.
