Women filmmakers and giving them a little louder voice is certainly a part of my agenda while I’m covering the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, but there are plenty more films to add to my “must-see” list. If you’re lucky enough to attend even one day of this prestigious festival, perhaps one of these recommendations will fit your schedule.
