Freaky Talesis a return to their indie roots, Sundance director of programmingKim Yutanisays of Boden and Fleck.

Were so impressed with the work theyre doing.

I think we have an incredibly bold, exciting slate.

Thats the backbone of what Sundance is built on, Yutani says.

Who is the name we dont know yet?

A staggering 40 percent of Sundance 24s scheduled entries come courtesy of first-time filmmakers.

Thats just one of the pleasures of this job, Yutani adds.

And yes, we have Kristen Stewart in our lineup.

I ask ifLove Meis an animated film or full of CGI and fail to get a straight answer.

Only we know the answer to that, Yutani deadpans.

The less you know about that film going in … Hernandez begins before trailing off.

Sam and Andy play with your expectations and take you places that you probably cant imagine.

To Kims point, its really about that sense of discovery.

Of finding a really adventurous, bold way to take an audience on a journey.

Programmers describe the U.S.

This is a real audience film, Yutani says.

I think people are going to connect with it.

And yeah, its a three-hanky.

Theres limited capacity, Vicente points out.

We really treat it as a venue.

Its a digital venue so we encourage people to buy their digital package if they want to participate.

I expect this film to really break out during the festival, Yutani says.
