The city said its proposal “highlights Atlanta’s diverse neighborhoods, status as a film production hub, cultural centers, event capabilities, commitment to climate action, ease of transportation, hospitality industry and inclusive and equitable business environment.”
“Further, the (request for proposals) instills how Sundance can lay roots and be woven into the rich fabric of Atlanta’s culture,” the release said. “Lastly, as a part of overall support to Sundance, the city of Atlanta and its partners pledged $2 million in support as well as a robust array of concessions and in-kind support to the festival.”
The press release did not identify what those concessions and additional in-kind support might entail.
The city said it worked with the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau and a community of leaders.
