Sundance London 2024: On the red carpet with Emerald Fennell

Sundance London 2024: On the red carpet with Emerald Fennell

As Sundance Film Festival 2024 celebrates its 40-year anniversary, actor and filmmaker Emerald Fennell was in attendance to discuss her career after her three-part short Careful How You Go first screened at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Two years later, her directorial debut feature A Promising Young Woman also premiered at the festival and went on to win her the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award.

As part of the celebrations, Sundance London in collaboration with Picturehouse curated a selection of previously successful shorts and screened Careful How You Go as part of these repertory screenings. The film is a psychologically dark comedy film about three vengeful women filmed in London and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Daniel Rigby and Linda Bassett.

With Fennell now noted as an established filmmaker with numerous accolades behind her and after her huge success with the 2023 film Saltburn, The Upcoming had the pleasure of speaking to her on the red carpet as she discussed her support for the festival, the platform it offers to budding directors and creatives and the starting point it offered her in her own career starting out as a filmmaker.
