Film USA at Sundance 2025

We are excited to invite you to a must-attend event on Saturday, January 25, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the Cabin, 427 Main St, Park City, Utah, during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival!

This evening kicks off with the ‘Lights. Camera. America!’ Panel from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM (doors open at 5:00 PM, with the doors closing shortly after panel begins; doors will reopen for the After Party). This important discussion will focus on how we can promote U.S. filmmaking to boost local economies, protect U.S. jobs, and maintain the country’s leadership in the global film industry. Our expert panelists will explore the critical need for federal incentives as well as state and local film incentives to combat the increasing number of runaway productions and keep film production thriving in the U.S.
