We’re halfway through Sundance and people are still buzzing about Daniel Radcliffe’s “farting corpse” movie. More importantly, studios are paying top dollar for the hottest movies playing at the festival — and The Birth of a Nation is one of them.

Logline: A teenage girl’s family is visited by a mysterious old woman on a dark and stormy night and what she tells them sends the young girl off on an adventure through space and time in search of her missing father.
