Independent filmmakers relied on Blackmagic Design while creating this year's distinguished lineup.
Blackmagic Design today announced that more than 40 notable projects at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival were created using its products, including its digital film cameras, DaVinci Resolve Studio editing, color grading, visual effects (VFX) and audio post production software, and more.
Blackmagic Design congratulates the cutting edge feature films, documentaries and episodic series that were selected for Sundance's 2025 lineup. This includes distinguished films such as Andr is an Idiot, LUZ, Twinless and Ricky that were shot with Blackmagic Design cameras, and projects such as If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Dead Lover, Rains Over Babel (Llueve sobre Babel), Plainclothes and Opus that relied on DaVinci Resolve Studio throughout post production.
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You graded by Nat Jencks of PostWorks New York
According to Andr is an Idiot DP Ethan Indorf, We used the URSA Mini Pro 12K as our two shot when Andr was talking with Tommy Chong, and the URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 on a few interviews in the film. The Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro came in handy when our A cam was tied up on the car rig. It was lightweight and quick to fire up when time and space were an issue.
In Sundance's LUZ, dual stories of challenging family dynamics unravel in Chongqing and Paris, with the characters' lives colliding in a virtual reality (VR) world as they begin parallel quests to rekindle familial love. DP Benjamin Echazarreta used a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K digital film camera to capture the VR sequences, noting: We mounted the Pocket on a small gimbal and fixed it to the actors to capture POV shots, bringing the VR world to life. We chose the Pocket since its lightweight, compact design and cinematic image quality allowed us capture the unique POV shots we were after.
