To support our community of filmmakers during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the decision to remove the $50 fee for Sundance Collab Master Classes. As we meet this next moment and continue to support artists through our content, we are reinstating a fee at a discounted rate of $27 for on-demand recordings.


Both Master Class event registration and on-demand recording access are included in Creator+ and Course Pass memberships.Sign up todayto getCreator+ Membershipfree for 14 days.

But what exactly does this entail? In this three-hour Master Class with a panel of accomplished producers, we take a deeper look at the producer’s leadership role in production to ensure success on set.
