PARK CITY, Utah (AP) --
Anyone looking to go to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah next year is going to need more than a badge. All participants must be fully vaccinated too, festival director Tabitha Jackson said Tuesday.
The 2022 Festival is requiring people attending the festival or Sundance-affiliated events to have received the COVID-19 vaccine. That means everyone from volunteers to filmmakers and passholders. More details will follow in the coming months.
Following the largely virtual Sundance earlier this year, organizers are planning to hold in-person events in 2022 with screenings in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as some "satellite" screenings at regional theaters throughout the U.S.

Claudio is an award-winning marketing and technology executive with a track record of transforming global creative and marketing at some of the world’s most recognizable brands and agencies, including Adobe, Amazon, Omnicom, Marketo, Apple, and others. He is also a guest lecturer at Stanford, NYU, Temple, and UC Berkeley, where he teaches how to effectively blend creativity, technology, and customer experience.
He first connected with ONE School in 2020 while serving as ECD and sr. director at Adobe, a founding creative sponsor of the program. Over the past four years, he was first a mentor, then head of mentorship and advisor for the school.
