Sundance Channel Selects

"Sundance Channel Selects" shines a spotlight on new films and music of particular interest to our viewers. Every month, the Sundance Channel Programming Team searches for specific feature films, documentaries and albums that will resonate with an audience looking for something different - a story or performance that will provoke, entertain and challenge. The "Sundance Channel Selects" segments are financed by the motion picture, music or other companies that create and distribute the featured content; Sundance Channel is solely responsible for selecting the content and all editorial decisions.

STARTING OUT IN THE EVENING - NOW ON DVD

Unable to finish a novel that has taken him ten years to write, aging novelist Leonard Schiller is slipping into literary obscurity. Formerly a famous author, Schiller has been all but forgotten by the readers, colleagues and critics that once praised him. But when Heather Wolfe, an ambitious graduate student, convinces Schiller that her thesis could reintroduce his writing to the world, the reclusive writer is forced to confront his past regrets. Frank Langella delivers a career-capping performance as a man who must redefine his work - and his perceptions - in the twilight of his life.
