Randall Park made a pact with himself some years ago that he wouldn't attend the Sundance Film Festival if he didn't have a project there. But the"Fresh Off the Boat" star never imagined that his first time would be as a director and not as an actor.
Festivalgoers will see some unexpected turns from stars, like Jonathan Majors as an amateur bodybuilder in"Magazine Dreams," Emilia Clarke as a futuristic parent in"Pod Generation," Daisy Ridley as a cubicle worker in"Sometimes I Think About Dying" and Anne Hathaway as a glamourous counselor working at a youth prison in 1960s Massachusetts in"Eileen."
"I kept coming back to this idea of agency and of her slowly gaining agency first over her mind, then over her career and then over her identity," Wilson said. This year, his company is coming armed with a new comedy that could very well enter that canon of Sundance discoveries:"Theater Camp," a heartfelt satire of the musical theater world set at a crumbling upstate New York summer camp . The film is a collaboration of longtime friends Molly Gordon, Nick Lieberman, Ben Platt and Noah Galvin.
Others promise to open minds about the lives of marginalized communities. Vuk Lungulov-Klotz, who is a transgender filmmaker of Chilean and Serbian descent, is hoping to push trans masculine narratives forward with his film"Mutt," about a trans man who encounters three significant people he hasn't seen in some time one hectic day in New York City.
