Indie Film From Beyoncé ‘Lemonade’ Collaborator Pulled From Sundance by Irate Financier Over Director’s Alleged ‘Secret’ Cut (EXCLUSIVE)
An indie film from director Kahlil Joseph has been pulled from this week's Sundance Film Festival by its own financier, Participant Media.
In a legal communication from an attorney, obtained and verified by Variety, Participant said it was “shocked” to allegedly learn last Friday that Joseph was screening a new cut of the film to critics at talent agency CAA. In a statement to Variety, A Sundance spokesperson said the festival was “deeply disappointed to have been informed this evening by Participant that they are pulling ‘BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions,’” adding that the film is “a radiant and immersive cinematic experience which we were looking forward to premiering for our audiences this Friday.” Another individual familiar with events that led to the legal letter said that two Participant executives were present at the contested CAA screening, and that the differences between the new and approved cuts are about a minute long.
