LATINOS    SUNDANCE

ABOUT

LATINOS@SUNDANCE& César Arredondo 

THE FEST
Sundance is the world's preeminent independent film festival. After covering the fest for Ahora Utah, the now-defunct Spanish publication of the Salt Lake Tribune, I decided to keep on covering Sundance and highlighting Latino films, directors, stars, actors, and other talents and all things Latino.
