How Cassian Elwes transformed the indie film business at Sundance in the 1990s

Legendary producer and WMA agent Cassian Elwes looks back on his years attending Sundance Film Festival and how they helped to shape the independent film industry. Screen’s Americas editor Jeremy Kay and Elwes – whose producing credits include Blue Valentine, Dallas Buyers Club and The Butler – begin by remembering the late Robert Redford, who co-founded the festival and worked with Elwes on several occasions. The duo also discusses the Sundance Institute’s new CEO, late-night deals at the festival over the years and what the impending move to Colorado means for the event. 957226
