Sophie Hyde should have touched down by now in snowy Utah, where Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is in the line-up of international films chosen to premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.

Hyde, a director and producer with Adelaide’s Closer Productions who also works as an international freelance director, was due to make her third visit as a director to Sundance this week, eight years after her first feature, 52 Tuesdays, won a Sundance directing award. She followed this with the gritty and freewheeling Irish comedy about long-time best friends, Animals, which premiered at Sundance in 2019.
