By SANDY COHENPARK CITY, Utah — Among the filmmakers, actors and cinephiles at this year’s Sundance Film Festival were studio reps and other distributors looking for the next big thing.

The 10-day festival, which wrapped Sunday, showcased movies made outside the Hollywood studio system. Financed independently, these films often offer storytellers more freedom, but they also may be difficult to see outside of Park City unless a studio, cable channel or streaming service signs on to bring them to the masses.

Here are some of the dramas and documentaries that were picked up by distributors large and small, meaning they will soon be available on a screen near you:
