PARK CITY, UTAH, October 10, 2024 - The nonprofit Sundance Institute announced today the storytellers selected for the 2024 Latine Fellowship and Collab Scholarship.

This year's Latine Fellowship and Scholarship recipients come from diverse disciplines, all united by their shared goals of growth and increasing representation for a wide range of Latine voices, said Hajnal Molnar-Szakacs, Director of Sundance Institute's Artist Accelerator and Women at Sundance.
