The Sundance Film Festival has kicked off in Utah as usual (though that location isn’t necessarily locked). Given that Oscars season is in full swing, you may currently be focusing on movies that came out last year — perhaps you’re playing the Challengers soundtrack to mourn its shutout, or hiring an Etsy witch to try to affect the chances of controversial front-runner Emilia Pérez — but allow yourself to take a break and redirect your energy to speculating about the future. Which indie films on the 2025 Sundance lineup will we still be talking about come next awards season? Dave Franco and Alison Brie’s Together became the first major film sold on January 29. The market has been a bit slower this year — perhaps because the festival arrived amid ongoing fires in Los Angeles — but the couple’s body-horror film still stood out.

Below, an updating list of all the movies sold at Sundance so far, and for how much.

Distributor: Asteria/Documentary+

Directed by Joe Hunting, the short film follows Virtual Reality creator Hiyu who received a kidney from his online friend Photographotter from half way across the world.

Price: Not available
Release date: Sometime in 2025

Distributor: Netflix

Adapted from a 2011 novella by Denis Johnson, Train Dreams, starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones, was co-written and directed by Clint Bentley. He and his co-writer, Greg Kwedar, also penned the script for Sing Sing, earning an Oscar nomination.

Price: “High-teen millions,” per Deadline on January 30
Release date: To be announced

Distributor: Neon

Michael Shank’s body-horror film about a codependent couple, Together, ended up going to Neon after a bidding war that reportedly included A24, per Variety. Not to say it’s The Substance’s impact, but it might just be The Substance’s impact.

Price: Well over $10 million, per Variety
Release date: August 1, 2025, in theaters
