The 2019 Sundance Film Festival wraps up on Sunday, February 3rd and it was a big year for mega-deals, female directors, and Amazon Studios.

Several films from high-profile directors earned big global contracts, the festival’s new programming head scheduled a lineup with 45 percent female directors, and Amazon dropped almost $45 million dollars on three films. We also saw the festival’s founder, actor Robert Redford, announce he’d be stepping back from the spotlight.

Today on FilmWeek, we’ll preview some of the major films and storylines from the festival with “The Frame” host John Horn and Amy Nicholson, both of whom have been in attendance.
