海角社区app's Jason Fraley previews Sundance (Part 1)

The Sundance Film Festival has sparked an annual bidding war between streaming giants.

Last year, Hulu spent a record $20 million to purchase the fantasy rom-com “Palm Springs.”

Over the weekend, Apple TV+ broke that record by spending $25 million for 鈥淐ODA,” an acclaimed coming-of-age drama about a hearing girl (Emilia Jones) with deaf parents (Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur).

Due to the pandemic, Sundance is making this year’s film slate available to stream .
