Brand activation production support in Boulder during Sundance

Earth Coast Productions provides production support for brand activations and lounges in Boulder, Colorado during the Sundance Film Festival (January 21–31, 2027). For agencies building a multi-day activation, we are the local production partner: AV for the space, an interview or podcast corner, a livestream when the brand wants one, and daily content capture — from a Broomfield base 25 minutes away, with our own gear and crew.

How it works

Brand Activations & Lounges, festival week

Out-of-state activation teams carry travel, per diem, and freight for every piece of production. A Colorado partner removes that line and adds venue knowledge: which Boulder rooms allow outside production, where the docks are, what the power and internet realities are, and who to call when a January storm changes the load-in. We integrate with your fabrication and experiential partners rather than replacing them.

Year-round, this is our Event production work; during January 21–31, 2027 it is scheduled around the festival's screenings, press days, and receptions in Boulder.

What's included

  • Lounge AV: sound, lighting, screens, playback, and a technician on site
  • Content corner: lit interview or podcast set inside the activation
  • Daily capture with same-night social edits and a recap film after the week
  • Livestream of programming to the brand's channels
  • Multi-day crew scheduling, gear holds, and a single production lead
  • Venue liaison for power, internet, rigging, and load-in windows

Who books this

  • Brand activation and experiential agencies
  • Sponsors and consumer brands hosting a festival-week lounge
  • Studios, streamers, and publishers running hospitality spaces
  • Tourism, tech, and outdoor brands using Boulder as a stage

Proof

Earth Coast Productions has produced multi-day event content and highlight reels for REALM Global Collective, Women In Ranching's Confluence, and Onyx Insight's annual symposium — each a week-long program that needed daily capture, social cuts, and a recap film, delivered while the event was still running.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Earth Coast Productions support brand activations and lounges during Sundance in Boulder?

Yes. Earth Coast Productions acts as the local production partner for brand activations and lounges in Boulder during the Sundance Film Festival: AV for the space, an interview or podcast corner, livestreamed programming, and daily content capture with overnight social edits. Because the company is based 25 minutes away in Broomfield, agencies avoid the travel, per diem, and freight costs that out-of-state production crews carry.

How far is Earth Coast Productions from the Sundance festival venues in Boulder?

Earth Coast Productions is based at Earth Coast Studios in Broomfield, Colorado, roughly 12 miles and about a 25-minute drive via US-36 from downtown Boulder, where the festival's Hotel Boulderado headquarters, Boulder Theater, eTown Hall, and the Dairy Arts Center sit within a few blocks of each other. The CU Boulder venues, Chautauqua Auditorium, and Cinemark Century Boulder are all within a similar drive. Crew, gear, and edit capacity stay local for the whole festival, with no travel or shipping costs.

What does festival-week production in Boulder cost?

Earth Coast Productions publishes starting points rather than quotes: panel-plus-livestream packages from $3,000 per event, podcast production from $2,000 per episode with studio sessions from $450, and full festival event production from $15,000. Interview-suite day rates and multi-day coverage retainers are scoped to the schedule. Every engagement gets a written production plan and quote within two to three business days of a planning call.

When should we book a production partner for the Sundance Film Festival in Boulder?

Brand activation agencies, publicists, sponsors, and media outlets typically lock local production partners between September and December for a late-January festival. Earth Coast Productions recommends confirming dates by early November 2026 for the January 21–31, 2027 festival: passes go on sale in October and the lineup is announced in December, and crew and gear holds for festival week are assigned in the order they are confirmed.

Is Earth Coast Productions affiliated with the Sundance Film Festival?

No. Earth Coast Productions is an independent production company based in Broomfield, Colorado, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sundance Institute. The company offers its services to brands, publicists, media outlets, and event hosts who are producing their own events and content in Boulder during festival week.
