fKKYOUUU, written and directed by Eddie Alcazar with music by Flying Lotus, will make its Utah premiere in the Short Film Program at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. The Sundance Film Festival takes place January 21-31 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.

The Festival is one of the world's premiere places to debut new independent films and over the course of its more than 30- year history has launched films including Whiplash, Boyhood, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Fruitvale Station, Little Miss Sunshine, sex, lies, and videotape, Reservoir Dogs, and Napoleon Dynamite.

fKKYOUUU - With the ability to travel in time, a lonely girl finds love and comfort by connecting with her past self. Eventually faced with rejection she struggles with her identity and gender, and as time folds onto itself only one of them can remain.

Eddie Alcazar said, "We are so excited to bring fKKYOUUU to Park City and cannot wait for the Sundance Film Festival audience to see it!"

Previous films by Eddie Alcazar include TAPIA (2014, distributed by HBO) and the upcoming feature films Johnny and 0000.

Flying Lotus received a GRAMMY nomination for "Never Catch Me (feat. Kendrick Lamar)" in the category of BEST DANCE RECORDING.

Taken from the landmark 2014 LP You're Dead! this collaboration between "two of the most important figures in the contemporary L.A. rap scene, Kendrick Lamar and Flying Lotus" (Entertainment Weekly) has become a calling card for our times.

Effortlessly fusing disparate influences from hip-hop, jazz, to future-electronics and bass, Never Catch Me's full influence has only begun to be felt. For one, its shockwaves can be felt in Lamar's own instant-classic To Pimp A Butterfly album from the following year (on which Flying Lotus also produced opener "Wesley's Theory").
