From Fledgling

Greetings from Sundance!  We are so pleased to share that the first film this week was a documentary! Waiting for Superman, a documentary by Davis Guggenheim, was sold to Paramount for distribution. The film investigates the state of the American education system by following five families, spread out across the nation, as they search for the right schools for their children. We hope that this foreshadows great success for the other documentaries throughout the festival. Hear what Guggenheim has to say about the film here. Congratulations!
