Have you ever wanted to experience the summer labs at Utah’s very own Sundance Resort? While we’ve transitioned these labs to digital platforms, we put together a few beauty shots from over the years as a part of the US National Archives’ #ArchivesVirtualVisit to give you an inside look.

“Did you know your foot’s as big as your arm from your elbow to your wrist?” That’s a little bit of trivia offered by Julia Roberts’ Vivian in the 1990 film Pretty Woman. Another bit of trivia for you: Pretty Woman actually had its beginnings as a Sundance lab project! In 1988, screenwriter J.F. Lawton (above) attended the Screenwriters and Directors Labs to workshop his script, then titled Three Thousand.
Since the film recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of its release, we thought we would share some photos taken on set of the project during the Directors Lab that year.

Director and screenwriter Gina Prince-Bythewood workshopped her award winning film Love & Basketballat the 1998 Directors Lab and premiered it two years later at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival.
This month marks 20 years since Love & Basketball’s release and ESPNrecently posted an interview with Prince-Bythewood, along with the cast and crew of the groundbreaking film and it’s definitely worth checking out, ‘Love & Basketball’: An oral history of the film that changed the game.
