Park City, UT — Sundance Institute today announced the winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, as well as the recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan Lab Fellowship,  presented through the Sundance Institute Feature Film Program.

Every Sundance Film Festival introduces the world to a new crop of filmmaking talent, with previously unknown directors and performers becoming Sundance-approved sensations overnight—or at least over 10 swift January nights. But not every one of those artists fits the cliché about the prodigious first-timer, or about the 20-something It girl of the year. In fact, one of this year’s great breakout performances comes courtesy of a TV and stage veteran, a 43-year-old actress whose work in the likes of Deadwood and Sons of Anarchy won her admirers but few high profile roles to date.
