#AlumniAchievement: Julien Turner ’20 (vsjulien_), co-owner of DreadheadFilms, will premiere his original comedy pilot “FreeLance” at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival — a milestone that places a young Morehouse filmmaker on one of the world’s most influential stages for independent cinema.
Since its founding, Sundance has been instrumental in elevating independent voices and launching careers across film and television; the festival’s legacy of discovery makes this selection especially significant. Turner — who says he and his collaborators “bet on ourselves” to tell the story of an Ohio kid and his friends chasing creative dreams — will join a slate that draws industry attention and national audiences.
