30 years ago, a good amount of what flooded multiplexes came out of the Sundance Film Festival. While the event kicks off this week, it does so amidst a changing film industry. Director's like Quentin Tarantino, who found fame at Sundance, now must be content with Hollywood studios who are looking elsewhere. Here is a look at why.
