The time of year has come again where we celebrate the start of festival season with the opening of Sundance Film Festival. Taking place January 19th to January 29th, the Utah festival is always an anticipated event in the Together Film team’s calendars.
Sundance is a true celebration of filmmakers and creatives, where audiences are sure to discover new perspectives and impactful storytelling.
Read on to find out what our top 3 picks are from the festival’s 2023 programme.
Directed and produced by Nancy Schwartzman.
Starring Rae De Leon.
Produced in partnership with Motto Pictures and Center for Investigative Reporting Studios as a Netflix original film.
This investigative documentary follows CIR reporter, Rae De Leon, as she uncovers the stories of victims of sexual assault looking for justice only to be met with being charged themselves with making false reports. This story will most certainly be met with outrage and empathy from audiences who watch it.

We worked with Nancy on her debut feature of Roll Red Roll (POV/Netflix 2019), the chilling documentary that followed the Steubenville High School sexual assault case.
Directed by Milisuthando Bongela.

The director, Milisuthando Bongela, is an artist, editor, cultural worker and award-winning writer. Milisuthando is her first film which will be premiering at the festival.
