Catalyst is Sundance Institute’s film financing program, which builds a culture of partnership between independent investors and filmmakers. Catalyst’s investor track serves new and experienced film funders through year-round programming, highly curated financing opportunities, and ongoing engagement with the wider Sundance community. Catalyst’s rigorous filmmaker lab offers tailored guidance on how to develop financing plans, build successful investor relationships, and effectively present projects. The program’s signature Catalyst Forum includes a slate of documentary and fiction features seeking financing and connects filmmakers and investors through presentations, individual meetings, panels, and informal social moments. Since its founding in 2013, more than $45 million has been raised to support over 100 films through Catalyst.
