Why It Matters for Festivalgoers
This is the first Sundance held in Boulder, and demand is expected to be high from both longtime festival regulars and local Front Range audiences discovering the event for the first time. Packages sell out quickly in normal years — grabbing one now guarantees you a set number of tickets before single-film sales open in January and competition intensifies.
