Sundance Film Festival has been the preeminent showcase for U.S. independent film and has provided a platform for diverse storytellers for over 30 years. As a programmer for Sundance for the last 10 years, Yutani helped discover and launch the careers of many filmmakers, including Dee Rees, Jill Soloway, Damien Chazelle, Ava Duvernay, and is particularly proud to have supported the work of Asian American writer-directors like Jennifer Phang (Half-Life, Advantageous), Andrew Ahn (Spa Night), and Christina Choe (Nancy).
