Sundance Collab’s Cultural Impact Residency Honoring the Legacy of Michael Latt to start up in March 2025

Sundance Collab is the digital arm of the Sundance Institute providing learning and community to creators from across the world. Honoring the legacy of social justice advocate Michael Latt, a six-month online residency program (March through August 2025) on Sundance Collab is designed to uplift storytellers of color with a focus on creative, social and cultural impact and to galvanize them with opportunities, hope and creative support and inspiration. 

Six fellows will be selected: two screenwriters/TV writers, two writer/directors, and two documentary filmmakers. These fellows will receive two dedicated meetings with Sundance Advisors to provide feedback on their work, bi-monthly cohort meetings to check in and share work, one meeting with Michelle Satter, Founding Senior Director, Artist Programs at Sundance Institute, and one meeting with the applicable Sundance Artist Program staff. Artists will also receive a Sundance Collab Library Pass to take advantage of the extensive Video Library, which includes Master Classes and Event Recordings, and two On Demand courses of their choosing.
