Watch the Trailer for Sundance Film Festival Standout ‘Gook’
Despite the fact that the Sundance Film Festival purports to cater to independent artists, there’s still a push towards established names over new artists. Take Gook, for example. Although the film ultimately received an audience award, you won’t find Gook on any of the pre-festival lists of highly anticipated films, perhaps suggesting that our industry still focuses a bit more on the filmmakers whose work we already know (to the detriment of those just starting out). Thankfully, the film about race relations during the Los Angeles riots found its distributor over the summer, and now audiences around the country will have a chance to see Gook in theaters.
