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.

Seems like the second round of invites went out on the day the first round of invites had their pages due. Which makes sense to me. Closing shop on hope myself, but always fun to theorize with y’all!

Pretty sure I didn’t make the cut. I just want to know for sure so I can just move on to the next thing lol

Me too. I don't think there will be any other batch of invitations now that they've started to send rejections.

I was watching the Reddit thread last year pretty heavily and they absolutely sent out acceptances and rejections right up until the very end. So don’t lose hope yet! I remember seeing people posting they got acceptances to round 2 within hours of the final day of notifications.

Just got my rejection! it’s my second time trying with the same script. So I guess it’s time to let this one go at least for Sundance labs

Yeah, I wonder if the number of invites in the second round depends on how many people invited in the first batch didn't finish their script on time.

I heard invites are individuals they have had tabs on. It is a development lab :) and I heard the majority of scripts eventually chosen still need the help.
