How to attend this year's online Sundance Film Festival
The Sundance Film Festival looks a little different this year. Normally, Legion M would descend upon Park City, Utah like a karaoke blizzard, ready to party down and pizza up. Unfortunately, that won't be possible this year with the closure of most theaters and, well, the entire world. So this year, all of the films will be screened online. It's a great year to get tickets if you've always wanted to go but couldn't swing the travel — because you only need to travel to your nearest computer! More importantly — at least, we think so — this is a special year for our innovative Film Scout App.
Traditionally, the Film Scout app is used predominantly by scouts around the world to evaluate the films based only on a title, a logline, and a frame from the film. But this year, with the festival being accessible to anyone anywhere, there is a unique opportunity for us to get REAL FEEDBACK on what our scouts think of films THEY CAN ACTUALLY WATCH!
The festival dates:
Thursday, January 28 to Wednesday, February 3
HOW DO I ATTEND THE FESTIVAL?
Check out the line-up and get your tickets! Our Film Scout App is a great way to familiarize yourself with what's playing this year and what interests you the most. If you're planning on watching any of the movies during the event, check back in on the app and fill out a scouting report to LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE FILMS!
WHAT IS FILM SCOUT?
While most entertainment companies rely on the gut intuition from key executives to make decisions, Legion M believes there's a better way. As a fan-owned company, we turn to our greatest resource — our community — to rate and evaluate films. To facilitate this, we built the SCOUT platform.
FILM SCOUT is a game you can play on your mobile phone.
There are two stages…
1. Rate and evaluate which films you are most interested in watching based on description, cast, director, etc. In this stage you also predict how you think others will rate the movies.
2. Watch a movie and provide detailed ratings to tell us what you thought of the film, the acting, directing, etc.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
Download and install the free SCOUT app. If you've already downloaded the app before, you'll need to update it to the new version.
(Optional) If you'd like to watch one or more of the films and submit your ratings and reviews, you can purchase tickets and passes. Tickets start at as low as $15 for a single film.
Legion M is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by the Sundance Film Festival.
