If there's an avatar for success at the Sundance Film Festival, it's easily Richard Linklater. In 1991, as highlighted by The Hollywood Reporter, the young filmmaker took his second feature film, the low-fi Slacker, to the Park City festival and emerged as the voice of a generation. Twenty-four years and fifteen films later, Linklater's on a career high, with Boyhood one of the signature films of 2014 and poised to win a Best Director Academy Award.
