Getting into Sundance is such a big platform for a director.

What's exciting about Sundance is that they're making a name for themselves in this boutique television niche world, and there's energy behind that.

So many features at Sundance seemed to be powered more on the director's need to be a director than any particular story.

When I went to Sundance for 'Afternoon Delight,' I came back feeling like I wanted to take my experience that I learned from directing and bring that into a series.

What's so great about Sundance is that they only accept such a small handful of films per year for dramatic competition, so you know when you're going to Sundance that you're going to see top-quality projects.

Sundance took me on my first film and from there sort of launched my career.

I grew up thinking there was something called 'independent film,' which I wouldn't necessarily have had access to if there wasn't Sundance.

Filmmakers are always in a bubble; along with our crew or writer, we don't really get to socialize with other filmmakers, so the great thing about Sundance is you can see many other filmmakers doing the same thing you do.

Sundance is just a great place for your work to be seen. Not much more to say about it than that.

Sundance is weird. The movies are weird - you actually have to think about them when you watch them.
