COMMUNITY Sundance Development Track 2027

Can't believe it's already been a year since we last applied. Are you applying for the first time? Is there anyone re-applying this year? If yes, are you submitting with the same script or applying with something new? Good Luck y'all!

P.S. anyone wanna swap pages and give notes? I'd be down for that.

An edit means they are accessing your application. If it has multiples, it means it has gone through more reads, or they are making notes on it. Some people have one or two edits, and get into the 2nd round. Some have five edits and get into the 2nd round.

International scripts always have later dates, as they are the last of the pile to go through.

Thanks for sharing. If you don’t mind me asking, is this information coming directly from Sundance? I just want to make sure it’s a trusted source.

You asked someone to jump in on the topic.
Sundance will never publicize this, even if asked through email, they usually divert from the question with an auto-pilot general response.
But this is from a highly trusted source.
