\n\tThe five-year agreement is targeted to begin in September. The pact combines UCLA\u2019s academic resources with Sundance Institute\u2019s experience and Sundance Collab\u2019s international community of more than 130,000 artists across 177 countries.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis collaboration connects Sundance Collab \u2014 our global online platform for visionary creators \u2014 with UCLA\u2019s distinguished legacy of artist development. Together, we\u2019re creating an unprecedented pipeline to amplify independent voices and evolve the future of storytelling and connected audience engagement,\u201d said Michelle Satter, the founding senior director of Sundance Institute artist programs and Sundance Collab.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Digital Hub will begin the collaboration and is expected to go UCLA-wide in 2027, providing TFT students and staff with resources to address the \u201chidden curriculum of film education.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThree additional programs are also under development, which includes an annual Summer Summit at UCLA; the UCLA Bridge Intensive, which features a Sundance Film Festival Experience for TFT students in Boulder, Colorado; and a co-developed program focusing on new technology, creativity, justice and equity. All three programs are expected to launch throughout 2028.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is what it looks like when the premier institution for independent film comes to the premier public film school and says, \u2018Let\u2019s build something together.\u2019 Sundance has always been the place where independent voices are found and championed,\u201d said Celine Parre\u00f1as Shimizu, the dean of TFT, in a statement. \u201cTFT has always been the place where those voices are forged \u2014 in craft, in method, in authorship.\u201d<\/p>\n
