Sundance Institute Feature Film Program via YouTube Recently, the Sundance Institute brought its New Frontier Flash Lab to South Florida to explore ways to cultivate stories at the convergence of art and technology. RELATED INFORMATION Sundance, in partnership with Knight Foundation, is hosting ShortLabs in Philadelphia and Miami this month. Register here for Philadelphia, and here for Miami. I knew that Sundance coming to town would be good for Miami, but ultimately I didn’t know what to expect.  What most surprised me was the generosity of the four presenters: Susan Bonds (CEO, 42 Entertainment), Scott Snibbe (Björk’s Biophila & Philip Glass’ Rework), Jonathan Harris (Cowbird & We Feel Fine) and Jigar Mehta (18 Days in Egypt). Not only were they willing to share their stories with an audience of emerging artists, but their work was innately generous. While they are all quite different, the four artists seem to constantly challenge themselves for the sake of creating and sharing something beautiful, useful and inspiring. The day was filled with amazing insights, but here are a few personal takeaways from the event, which was co-presented by the Miami Filmmakers Collaborative and sponsored by Knight Foundation.
