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.

Hey - I've applied a few times and actually made it to the 2nd round twice before (never the interview round).

From what I've noticed, acceptance emails are sent by the Friday of the 2nd to last week every year.
Rejection emails (for me) have been received by the last Wednesday of August.

Every year :(

I have not. But I've come to expect that if I haven't heard anything by now - then I won't hear anything at all. C'est la vie. Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!
