2021 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Bryan Wizemann’s You Mean Everything to Me

Persistence pays off. Bryan Wizemann has been painstakingly hacking away at indie film since 1998’s Sense following that with 2005’s Losing Ground, 2011’s About Sunny (TIFF) and finally his fourth feature in You Mean Everything to Me. Recently awarded the Rooftop Films and Brigade Festival Publicity grant and accepted into the Sundance Institute Film Music and Sound Design Lab, the shoestring budgeted film features the likes of Morgan Saylor and Ben Rosenfield, with Lindsay Burdge in a smaller role.
