Robin Wright

The ongoing fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has forced significant changes to the 2021 edition of the Sundance Film Festival, along with the rest of the world. But for the fourth consecutive year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) presented its panel this year titled: “Women Breaking Barriers: An Industry Shift” panel – in an exclusively virtual presentation on Saturday, January 30.

Golden Globe winner actress, producer and director Robin Wright tells HFPA journalist Anke Hofmann that she was nervous when she got the opportunity to direct her first feature film, Land. The story is about Edee Mathis, played by Wright, who in the aftermath of an unfathomable event, finds herself unable to stay connected to the world she once knew and in the face of uncertainty retreats to the wilderness.
