Friday, January 19 at 2pm CT
NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Shutterstock, Inc.
(NYSE: SSTK), a leading global creative platform connecting
brands and businesses to high-quality content, today announced that
they are the Official House Photographer and Portrait Studio
Partner for the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, which takes place
January 18-28 in Park City and Salt
Lake City, Utah. More than 50 Shutterstock Editorial
photographers, videographers, editors and production staff will be
onsite at this year's Sundance Film Festival to capture all of the
premieres, parties, panels and surrounding events.
Shutterstock will also host the Official Sundance Film Festival
Portrait studio, inviting celebrity and VIP festival attendees in
for a professional photo shoot with renowned Shutterstock celebrity
photographer, Presley Ann. The invitation-only portrait studio will
be located at the corner of Heber Avenue and Main Street. In
addition, Shutterstock will host an exclusive venue at the 2024
Sundance Film Festival — the Shutterstock Chalet on Main Street.
The invitation-only hideaway will offer VIPs, talent and members of
the press a place to relax and recharge with snacks, hot drinks,
must-have mountain accessories and more.
"Shutterstock is honored to once again support the bold,
creative, independent art and artists of the Sundance community as
a Leadership Sponsor and for the first time as the Official House
Photographer for the Festival," said Candice Murray, Vice President of Editorial at
Shutterstock. "We couldn't be more pleased to capture the special
moments of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and to add them to
Shutterstock's collection of iconic entertainment, editorial and
archival content for the world to see."
With the largest network of the world's top photographers and
more than two million creators around the world contributing to
the Shutterstock platform, the company offers the world's most
extensive and diverse collection of high-quality and iconic stock
photography, 3D models, videos, music, vectors and illustrations,
SFX, playback, animation, AI and XR, as well as live event
production through Shutterstock Editorial and custom production
through Shutterstock Studios.
On Friday, January 19 at
2pm CT at the SFF24 Filmmaker Lodge
on Main Street, Shutterstock Studios will also host a panel and
viewing of their breakthrough documentary Surfing Through The Odds,
produced in partnership with Betclic Studios and Coming Soon. Born
out of the need for better representation of diversity in the
surfing world, Surfing Through the Odds follows an NGO, SOMA, as
they work to fight gender inequality through Surf Therapy programs
and highlights the young girls of São Tomé and Príncipe,
Africa, on their journey of
self-discovery through surfing. The project culminated with a
beautiful and impactful collection of images and videos captured as
part of the documentary that are now available in Shutterstock's
catalog for licensing. The profits from the collection go directly
to SOMA to further contribute to effective change in racial and
gender inequality in the surfing community and to the empowerment
of women in São Tomé. The short film is not an official selection
of the Sundance Film Festival.
This documentary is one of several Shutterstock Studios projects
that illustrate the breadth, depth, and unparalleled impact of its
global production and creative services across branded and
unbranded projects and documentary storytelling. Last year alone,
Shutterstock Studios shot at high-volume and broad scale across
hundreds of shoot days in countries worldwide, ultimately
delivering tens of thousands of unique assets for global brand,
agency and media partners.
As part of Shutterstock Editorial's live event production
offering, the company's global team of photographers and
videographers capture iconic, must-see and behind the scenes
moments deliverable as raw footage, media edits, sizzle reels,
social media-ready content, and packaged content. Shutterstock

achieve a bigger brand impact at bespoke footprint or high-profile
sponsorship events, including some of the biggest industry events
of the year, such as the Sundance Film Festival, Golden Globes,
