What It Takes to Get Your Short into Sundance [PODCAST]
6 years ago
Interesting to hear how these films came to be and some of the approaches to them, BUT I found the headline misleading. This was more of a roundtable on discussing filmmaking than a "What it takes to get into Sundance."
My take? The story ended with Return of the Jedi. We're asking these writers and directors to keep it going when the heart of what Lucas wanted to say already has a period. Disney, of course, saw it as an ellipsis so we got three more movies that weren't necessary to the story. These talented guys are set up to fail, IMO.
