Description 'Deep Cuts' is Sean Durkin's A24 adaptation of Holly Brickley's 2025 novel, starring Cailee Spaeny and Drew Starkey; it is in post-production with no release date. Durkin's 'Martha Marcy May Marlene' and 'The Nest' premiered at Sundance; 'The Iron Claw' skipped festivals. IonCinema reports A24 is expected to target Sundance 2027 (Boulder; lineup due December 2026).
- This event resolves YES if 'Deep Cuts' has its world premiere at the 2027 edition of Sundance, the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), SXSW, the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, Telluride or the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) between November 11, 2026 and September 20, 2027 23:59 UTC.
- This event resolves NO if it does not world-premiere at one of these festivals by the deadline.
- 1. Specificity: Any section counts (competition, out of competition, premieres, special/secret screenings). The festival's official 'World Premiere' designation is decisive. For Telluride, a first public screening there reported by Deadline, Variety or The Hollywood Reporter counts.
- 2. Exclusion: A world premiere at any other festival, or a prior public screening (ticketed/open to general audiences) or theatrical/streaming release, resolves NO. Test screenings, private industry screenings and festival press/industry screenings do not disqualify. Lineup announcements alone do not count.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: Official festival lineups/schedules priority. Deadline, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter secondary. A24 official channels tertiary.
- 4. Timing: The premiere screening must start before September 20, 2027 23:59 UTC (festival local time converted to UTC). Resolves YES immediately once a qualifying premiere occurs. Post-deadline resolves NO.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: If pulled from a listed festival but then world-premiering at another listed festival before the deadline, resolves YES. Otherwise no qualifying premiere by the deadline resolves NO.
