“Being a Director is being the guardian of the story.”

We asked the directors in the 2024 Sundance Institute Director’s Lab about the most valuable piece of filmmaking advice they have received so far at the lab.

[Ilyse McKimmie @ilysemck]

We just screened Girlfight with Karyn at the @sundanceorg Directors Lab - it’s a revelation of a first film, and her wisdom and perspective looking back on it was a thrill to hear.

[The Academy @TheAcademy]

"Even with her lack of experience and her complete lack of training, there was just something electric about Michelle."

'Girlfight' director Karyn Kusama reflects on discovering Michelle Rodriguez.
