“This Sundance Film Festival partnership is a wonderful avenue for AFS to further our mission of supporting and championing filmmakers and film culture here in Texas. As so many emerging Texas filmmakers have found a home at the Sundance Film Festival over the years, it's exciting that our film community will have the opportunity to host the festival in 2021."
