	Grand Prize Doesn't Equal Grand Profit - New York Times
		The film that wins the grand jury prize for a dramatic feature at this year's Sundance Film Festival is guaranteed many things, but commercial success isn't one of them.
		It is generally understood that Sundance juries, which are composed of independent filmmakers, actors and actresses, producers, journalists and others associated with low-budget moviemaking, are sympathetic to films that have little chance in the marketplace.
		A "Napoleon Dynamite" or a "Garden State," to cite two films that were shut out of the 2004 festival prizes but went on to do very well at the box office ($44,540,956 and $26,782,316, respectively), didn't need that kind of help.
