Director Jared Hess expressed his gratitude to Minecraft fans as “A Minecraft Movie” approaches the $1 billion mark in global sales. The film has been a hit with audiences, showcasing the creativity and passion of the Minecraft community. Hess, known for his breakout film “Napoleon Dynamite,” is now considering a sequel to the successful blockbuster. However, Hess also reflects on the end of an era as the Sundance Film Festival prepares to leave its Park City headquarters for Boulder, Colorado in 2027. The festival played a crucial role in launching his career with “Napoleon Dynamite” over 20 years ago.
Hess fondly remembers the premiere of “Napoleon Dynamite” at Sundance, where the audience’s enthusiastic response signaled the birth of a cultural phenomenon. Despite the success of “A Minecraft Movie,” Hess is saddened by the departure of the festival that has been instrumental in his career. However, Utah state leaders are looking towards the future, aiming to innovate and support the growing film industry. The move opens the door for new opportunities in Utah’s film community.
