The Sundance Kids: How the Mavericks Took Back Hollywood

The alumni roster from Robert Redford's Sundance Institute reads like a who's who of modern American film directors. Paul Thomas Anderson, Alexander Payne, Sofia Coppola, David Fincher, Spike Jonze and Wes Anderson are just a few of the directors who got their start in Redford's famous workshops. Author James Mottram examines this new generation of filmmakers and their work, starting with Steven Soderbergh's influential debut, sex, lies and videotape, up to such recent critical successes as Sideways and Lost In Translation.
