The Winners of the 2015 Sundance Film Festival
Alfonso Gomez-Rejon’s crowdpleaser “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” repeated last year’s “Whiplash” coup by winning both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Dramatic Prize and U.S. Dramatic Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. “The Wolfpack,” from first-time director Crystal Moselle, won the U.S. Documentary Grand Jury Prize.
Kyle Patrick Alvarez’s “The Stanford Prison Experiment” and Matthew Heineman’s “Cartel Land” matched “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” with two wins each. “Stanford” picked up the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award and Alfred P. Sloan Prize, while U.S. Documentary contender “Cartel Land” won Best Director and Excellence in Cinematography.
