News of Associate Professor of Art and Visual Culture Carolina González Valencia’s Sundance Documentary Fund grant of $50,000 to finish her film How to Clean a House in Ten Easy Steps was covered in Deadline. The Sundance Institute funded 32 projects this year.

In August, Deadline covered Gonzalez Valencia’s Points North Fellowship, which supports filmmakers in developing their pitches, and invites them to present their works in progress to a panel of funders and distributors at Camden International Film Festival. The film, which is being shot in the U.S., Colombia, and Mexico, is a “hybrid documentary” in which a domestic worker and her filmmaker daughter co-create the fictional character of a writer to uncover the slippage between truth and fantasy. It tells a story about immigration, labor, dreams, and the power of fiction to spark emancipation.
