Sun Valley Film Festival to Celebrate First-Time Helmers and Industry Icons
This year's Sun Valley Film Festival, running from February 28 to March 3, will celebrate first-time directors as well as industry veterans.
“We’re very much an extension of the community, and over the last few years, the area has given back in ways we couldn’t have expected, which has really strengthened the overall strategy of the festival,” says Teddy Grennan, executive director and SVFF co-founder, who praises the fest’s “wildly curious and educated audience.” Filmmaker Alice Gu, whose 2020 doc “The Donut King” won trophies at SXSW and Sun Valley, is back at the festival with a dynamic new short that’s based on true events. At the Miss International National USA pageant, Dr. Ethan (and alter-ego, Ai Mei Shimmer) must rush to the hospital to save a patient, exposing his secret passion.
