Sundance Film Fest 2013–Oscilloscope Laboratories has acquired North American rights to Andrew Dosunmu’s “Mother of George,” which premiered in competition at Sundance.

“Fruitvale,” writer-director Ryan Coogler’s fact-based drama about the last day in the life of 22-year-old Bay Area shooting victim Oscar Grant, scored a double victory at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday night, winning the grand jury prize and the audience award for U.S. dramatic features.

Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute, announced that the Institute’s Artist Services program – which provides Institute artists with exclusive opportunities for creative self-distribution, marketing and financing solutions for their work – has expanded to include selected films supported by one foundation and five nonprofit organizations. Additionally, these organizations will join with Sundance Institute in continuing to shape the program and the services it offers.

This year, 113 feature-length films representing 32 countries were selected for Sundance; the haul includes projects from 51 first-time filmmakers — including 27 films that are in competition.
