2025 Sundance Keynote Looks Ahead: 'We'll Not Only Adapt to the Changing Industry but Also Shape Its Future'
Briefly

The Sundance Film Festival serves as a vital gathering for independent filmmakers, offering support and recognition through events like the Sundance Producers Celebration. At this year's event, producers were awarded for their outstanding contributions, including Joe Pirro for his work on 'The Wedding Banquet' remake and Danielle Varga for the documentary 'SEEDS'. David Hinojosa delivered the keynote address, emphasizing the festival's inclusive atmosphere and celebrating the embrace of individual creativity among the community.
David Hinojosa: This is truly a place that allows you to be exactly who you are. I walked all the way up here in this outfit totally unchallenged!
Joe Pirro received the Amazon Studios Fiction Producers Award for his work on the remake of "The Wedding Banquet" starring Bowen Yang and Lily Gladstone, while Danielle Varga received the Amazon Studios Nonfiction Producers Award for the documentary "SEEDS."
For someone who does not particularly enjoy physical touch, I have been so embraced by Sundance. Thank you to Michelle, Shira and Kristin for inviting me to speak to you all today.
