Park City Utah- The 2003 Sundance Film Festival is pleased to announce that DOPAMINE directed by first time filmmaker Mark Decena is the recipient of this year's Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize. The film, co-written by Decena and Tim Breitbach, follows the lives of two people navigating through their opposing views on what love is and what it should be. DOPAMINE is a Kontent Films production and screened in this year's Dramatic Competition section. The prize carries a $20,000 cash award to be split equally between the writer and director. Designed to increase the visability of outstanding independent films on science and technology, and to showcase the work of emerging filmmakers tackling compelling topics in science and technology, the Prize was presented at the Sundance Film Festival Awards Ceremony on January 25. With the support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Sundance Institute is committed to the development and exhibition of new independent film projects that explore science and technology themes or that depict scientists, engineers, and mathematicians in engaging and innovative ways. In addition to the prize, the Sundance Institute Feature Film Program selects a project to receive the Sloan Fellowship, which will provide support from inception to pre-production. The multi-year project blends the Sloan Foundation's goal of enhancing public understanding of science and technology with the Sundance Institute's mission to foster independent voices and compelling storytelling in film.
