Park City, UT – The 2010 Sundance Film Festival generated an overall economic impact of $62.7 million for the state of Utah, supported over 1,500 jobs, generated over $18 million in media exposure and provided millions in tax revenue, according to the annual economic and demographic study conducted by the University of Utah’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the David Eccles School of Business (BEBR). The nonprofit Sundance Institute announced the findings today, which were generated using an economic impact model known as RIMS II, developed by the U.
I have devoted a significant part of my life’s work in support of the independent artist — independent referring not to the size of a project, its funding or subject matter; rather, to the singular vision and voice of that artist. I founded Sundance Institute 30 years ago out of the belief that it is vital to ensure that the artist’s voice remains vibrant, valued and heard in civil society at large.
It is with this in mind that I ask you to join me in bringing wider attention and broader support to a critically important case currently in play in U.

Outside the handful of cities with thriving film industries, there are cultural hot spots where artists are actively creating, but their locations may lack a formal support system for filmmaking. Take Tel Aviv: a complex history, rich culture, city blocks ripe with cafes, galleries, and shops. There is clearly an artistic pulse thumping through Tel Aviv, but like in many places there are also challenges to advancing the work of filmmakers who live there.
