At this year’s Sundance Film Festival, 62% of the films were made using Dropbox. (A pretty impressive number, if we do say so ourselves!)
As a sponsor of the event for the past nine years, we get to talk to many of those filmmakers about what it took to get their work from page to screen. No matter their film’s subject, from revenge-seeking elders to a wife turned AI humanoid, they all said the same thing: Organization was everything.
“Sometimes people don't think about what it's like to go through hours and hours and hours [of footage],” says director Dawn Porter. “It can be really tedious. Starting to break things down and organize is like the building block. That's the first part of the movie. It's not actually the visuals.”
We asked directors, writers, composers, and producers to explain how they used the organizational power of Dropbox to bring their visions to life.
