Announcing the Winners of the 2016 Sundance Ignite “What’s Next?” challenge

The second year of the Sundance Ignite “What’s Next?” Film Challenge left us awestruck. We received such amazing work from around the world answering the question “What’s Next?”. Thank you to every filmmaker who submitted to this year’s challenge!

Each winner becomes a Sundance Ignite Fellow, receives a trip to the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, a year-long mentorship and much more.
