Ahead of its 30 th anniversary, Slamdance is still making the same first impression . Shaggy yet shiny, the indie film festival was forged in the shadow of Sundance after its founders were rejected from the prestigious Park City showcase during the mid-nineties. Now, the Slamdance Group aims to be ahead of the game — having already moved from Utah and made its West Coast debut at the Director’s Guild of America on December 9 with the first-ever Indie Awards . “I don’t feel like it’s being dramatic or over-dramatizing it to say that independent film is at stake,” said Slamdance Festival Director Taylor Miller during her opening remarks. “There is so much going on that this is the best place to be and to have these awards . Los Angeles is where so much is changing week in and week out.” Also known as The Indies, the event was designed to “not just celebrate but elevate” projects that are “ truly indie,” Miller said. To qualify for the Slamdance honor, contenders could not have made their world premieres at Sundance, SXSW, or Telluride. Nominees did however have to play at least one domestic film festival, and were restricted to North America and the Indigenous Nations of Turtle Island. “Never has there been a harder time for true independent films and true independent filmmakers to go on and find commercial success, but it’s vital ,” Miller continued. “So we try harder and do something new to nurture a legacy for the next generation — and we trust in the promise of the new.” The complete Slamdance festival comes to California next year and is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles from February 20 to 26, 2025. Speaking about the decision to move, President Peter Baxter told IndieWire in May that Sundance had nothing to do with it (although that organization is also considering leaving Utah). Still, the charmingly chaotic ceremony rang true to the spirit of Slamdance’s origins. Hosted by comedian Nic Novicki, with repeat appearances by Miller, Slamdance set up The Indies more like a rallying cry than your average awards show. Presenters sometimes appeared on stage when they weren’t supposed to and the sporadic use of an intercom caused one audience member to loudly wonder, “ Who IS that disembodied voice?” A recent Gotham Award winner , “The People’s Joker” Vera Drew also received a special jury prize that doubled as something of a head scratcher. “This is such a beautiful night,” Drew said, holding The Renegade Award. “I also looked up the definition of the word ‘renegade’ just now because I realized I didn’t do that. And it’s a noun and it’s ‘a person who deserts and betrays an organization, country, or set of principles.’” Met with laughter and applause, the filmmaker said this gave her cause to “reflect” before commenting on the rogue allies her IP-reimagining required. “It is a scary time to be making art and to be making aggressively weird art, but indie film showed up for this movie,” Drew said. “It’s impossible for me to be cynical when so many people put their careers on the line to screen this film.” Looking back on the year, Slamdance gave top Indie honors to “Atikamekw Suns” for Best Narrative Feature and “All We Carry” for Best Documentary Feature. In both cases, the creators spoke about facing significant headwinds when defending the care essential to keeping their work authentic. “Atikamekw Suns” tells the true story of five First Nation youths who were found dead in a truck in 1977. It also won Outstanding Storytelling Craft, Outstanding Technical Achievement, and The Native Viewpoint Award For Outstanding Indigenous Community Story Collaboration at The Indies. “It’s a hybrid documentary and fictional film and there was a whole community that was very traumatized by what happened,” said writer/director Chloé Leriche on her final trip to the podium. “It was really hard to do this film. It was eight years of real emotions and hard work to try and tell this story.” “It shouldn’t be as hard as it is to tell stories this important,” echoed the “All We Carry” documentary team. In a pre-written joint speech, the four-person filmmaking group — Cady Voge, Laura Pilloni, Laura Tatham, and Rachel Clara Reed — described the obstacles they overcame with their “love story”/Honduran immigration saga. “Thank you so much to Slamdance and The Indies, who also believe in this type of story full of nuance,” the filmmakers said. “We are so appreciative of everything that you stand for in creating spaces for truly independent films like ours.” Filling an opportunity gap left by the demise of the LA Film Festival and OutFest in Los Angeles (coincidentally, where “The People’s Joker” premiered in 2023), Slamdance looks to carve familiar space for filmmakers in a new home. The Indies served as a warm welcome. “Our mission is to foster the power of community and shared success in the creative process,” said Miller, “ensuring that every voice has the opportunity to help shape cinema for a new century.” Slamdance Film Festival will take place in Los Angeles from February 20 to 26, 2025.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition.

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over for investors. In 2020, founding partner was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Dentsply targeted low-income people who did not have access to good oral hygiene education, a dentist, or dental insurance, which often meant patients signing up for Byte, a direct-to-consumer ("DTC") aligner solution, had underlying dental issues that would have made them ineligible for treatment; (2) the push for Byte growth and sales commissions caused sales employees to sell to contraindicated patients; (3) as a result of the above, the Byte patient onboarding workflow did not provide adequate assurance that contraindicated patients did not enter treatment; (4) before and during the Class Period, reports of Byte patient injuries were pouring in; (5) Dentsply knew that its Byte aligners were causing severe patient injuries for years but did little to investigate those injuries or notify the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"); (6) Dentsply had no systems in place to notify the FDA of these injuries, which Dentsply is required to do within 30 days of learning of a problem; (7) the FDA had received a sharp uptick in reports of serious injuries from Byte patients; (8) as a result of the above, Dentsply materially overstated the goodwill value of Byte; and (9) as a result of the above, defendants' positive statements about Dentsply's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
