Over 70 alumni attended the event, which included a panel discussion with Emma Baiada, C’14, Documentary Filmmaker and Associate Producer of Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, Fred Berger, C’03, Best Picture Golden Globe Winner and Academy Award Nominee for La La Land, and Nikki Silver, C’89, producer of The Giver and Reading Rainbow. Several current Penn students interning with the Sundance Film Festival joined the gathering. As a yearly tradition, the Penn Sundance Schmooze provides a space where alumni in the industry and movie-lovers alike can engage with friends, both old and new, and rekindle their connection to Penn, while sharing their appreciation for film.
