Company 3 Supports Storytelling Across 12 Films at Sundance 2026
January 21, 2026 Jan. 21, 2026The Sundance Film Festival kicks off this week for a landmark edition, marking the festival’s final year in Park City, Utah, before its move to Boulder, Colorado. Running January 22 through February 1, this year’s festival honors the enduring legacy of founder Robert Redford while continuing Sundance’s long-standing mission to champion bold voices, original storytelling, and underrepresented perspectives.
Company 3 is proud to support 12 films premiering across this year’s lineup, with our artists contributing color and finishing services to projects spanning multiple Sundance sections, including Premieres, NEXT, Midnight, the U.S. Documentary Competition, and Shorts programs.
Among the films debuting at the festival are Antoine Fuqua’s Troublemaker, graded by Senior Colorist Stefan Sonnenfeld, which draws from Nelson Mandela’s recorded reflections to deliver a powerful, first-person account of the anti-apartheid movement; The Brittney Griner Story, directed by Alexandria Stapleton and graded by Senior Colorist Jaime O’Bradovich, an intimate portrait that allows Griner to reclaim her narrative beyond the headlines; and Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story, directed by Judd Apatow and Neil Berkeley and graded by Senior Colorist Shane Harris, a candid look at an artist transforming vulnerability into creative strength. Together, these films represent just a snapshot of the range and depth of storytelling on display at this year’s festival.
From premieres to documentaries, we collaborate with filmmakers bringing bold, independent stories to the screen. Congratulations to our clients and all filmmakers premiering at Sundance 2026.
