From Sian Heder:
I am so damn excited to announce that my film CODA is world premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival! This is such a special film to me, the process of making it was honestly life changing and I can’t wait for the world to experience it! #Sundance is doing things differently this year with online screenings via festival.sundance.org and Satellite Screens across the country, so you can access it on your own screens or in your community!
Hope you’ll join us January 28 – February 3. Tickets on sale, January 7.
I’m so proud of my actors and my crew and the whole city of Gloucester (now the whole town gets to talk about something else besides The Perfect Storm)!
