Sundance is a step closer to finding a new (or familiar) home for the film festival in 2027 and beyond. The Sundance Institute has confirmed the three cities moving on to the finalist phase of its review process to secure a long-term host location: Boulder, Colorado; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Salt Lake City/Park City, Utah. Up next, those cities will move into a “concluding review process” with a decision expected in the first quarter of next year, following the 2025 edition of the festival. Sundance remains in Park City for 2025 and 2026. It’s important to note that in distributing the finalist’s locations, Salt Lake City received first billing over Park City, the longtime home for the festival, and it was no accident. The bid received by the festival would move the fest’s central headquarters to Salt Lake, with only elements taking place in Park City. There have long been rumblings and rumors about Sundance moving out of Park City as locals complained about the stress it brings to the small town — particularly during a busy and lucrative ski season — with a massive influx of people crushing the city’s local business and public transport every January. For the past several years, Sundance has held more screenings and events outside of Park City in the much larger Salt Lake City, where the first iterations of the fest took place.

Mike Byrd, who was born and raised in Peachtree City, Georgia, moved to Hawaii with his family during his middle school years. Then he returned to Peachtree City and attended McIntosh High School there. College followed, where he graduated with honors from the University of Georgia in Athens in 2008.  “[I] started my career renting cars on the southside of Atlanta,” Byrd says. But then, Georgia and its wonderland of opportunity brought career moves the car rental pro couldn’t have foreseen. “In 2010, I got my break working with a TV show, Drop Dead Diva, and provided them with cast and crew vehicles and picture cars for background scenery. During this time, I got plugged into the developments around Pinewood Atlanta Studios, and opened the first rental car operation solely dedicated to the film industry at the studio in early 2014.
