Here’s a **Robert Redford–style summary** of *A Journey to Sundance* — cinematic, reflective, and resonant with the independent spirit that Redford and the Sundance legacy represent: --- **A Journey to Sundance** *A Film by Julian Starks* *A Journey to Sundance* is an intimate, thirteen-year odyssey into the heart and soul of independent filmmaking. Directed, produced, and edited by **Julian Starks**, the documentary captures the raw determination, sacrifice, and passion of filmmakers across the globe who dare to tell their stories outside the Hollywood system. What begins as one man’s dream to take his own film to the iconic **Sundance Film Festival** evolves into a larger, universal exploration of what it truly means to be an artist—struggling not just for recognition, but for purpose. Through candid interviews, behind-the-scenes insights, and moments of both triumph and heartbreak, *A Journey to Sundance* reveals the human spirit behind the lens—the visionaries who, despite rejection and relentless odds, continue to create. Echoing the independent ideals championed by **Robert Redford**, the film is a love letter to perseverance, creativity, and the timeless quest for artistic truth. It’s not just about getting into Sundance—it’s about discovering what it means to stay true to your vision when the world says no. Would you like me to create a **festival program synopsis** (about 100 words) or a **back-cover summary** (for posters, streaming listings, or film packaging) next? I was the Producer, Director, Editor, Composer and On-Camera Host/Interviewer on the film. (Released Worldwide - 2022)
