We’re less than two weeks out from kicking off the first-ever NEXT WEEKEND film festival (Aug. 8-11) at Sundance Sunset Cinemas and partner venues throughout Los Angeles. Recently, we unveiled the 10 feature films screening throughout the weekend, and now each filmmaker has produced a video to introduce their film. Tickets ($12–15) are now available here.
