Park City, UT — Sundance Institute showcases bold, independent storytelling at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, beginning with today’s announcement of feature films selected across all categories. The Festival hosts screenings in Park City, Salt Lake City and at Sundance Mountain Resort, from January 18–28. LIZZIE Director: Craig William Macneill, Screenwriter:Bryce Kass, Producers: Naomi Despres, Liz Destro Official synopsis: Based on the 1892 murder of Lizzie Borden’s family in Fall River, MA, this tense psychological thriller lays bare the legend of Lizzie Borden to reveal the much more complex, poignant and truly terrifying woman within — and her intimate bond with the family’s young Irish housemaid, Bridget Sullivan. Cast: #ChloëSevigny #KristenStewart #JameySheridan #FionaShaw #KimDickens #DenisOHare Why it’s one to watch: Sevigny and Stewart as lovers in a period thriller based on of the most notorious murders in American history? That’s more than enough for a long walk in the snow. DAMSEL Directors and screenwriters: David Zellner, Nathan Zellner, Producers: Nathan Zellner, Chris Ohlson, David Zellner Official synopsis: Samuel Alabaster, an affluent pioneer, ventures across the American Frontier to marry the love of his life, Penelope. As Samuel, a drunkard named Parson Henry and a miniature horse called Butterscotch traverse the Wild West, their once-simple journey grows treacherous, blurring the lines between hero, villain and damsel. Cast: #RobertPattinson #MiaWasikowska #DavidZellner #RobertForster #NathanZellner #JoeBillingiere Why it’s one to watch: Pattinson collaborates with another pair of directing brothers after #GoodTime. Pattinson is in his #ArmieHammer phase of just wanting to do interesting material so chances are this should at least have a unique point of view. #SundanceFilmFest #Sundance2018 #Lizzie #Damsel #ParkCity #Utah 👏⭐👏⭐👏⭐
