Aside from film and dinner parties, the Suite will host the Collider Portrait and Media Studio during the day.

Dave Bautista & Brittany Snow - Kia Supper Suite
Extending far beyond the kitchen, the VIP experience will allow guests to be chauffeured in Kia vehicles, including the Sorrento and 2018 Kia Stinger, to and from all of their events. A five passenger sportback, the Stinger is the highest performance production vehicle produced by Kia and backed by their warranty. Accelerating at a rate of 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, the Stinger GT has more power that the Audi S5 Sportback, Infiniti Q50, and BMW 440i Gran Coupe.
With top speeds of 167 mph and a quicker acceleration than the six cylinder Porsche, the Stinger GT is poised to enter the elite market of European cars. Undergoing continuous runs and a rigorous research program while being designed in Frankfurt and developed on the Nürburgring circuit, the Stinger is the obvious choice to deliver VIPs in style through the cold climate and high altitudes of Park City, Utah, for Sundance 2018.

Joining the program this year is Altec Lansing, innovator in audio, as the official audio sponsor of Kia Supper Suite. They will be providing state of the art speakers for the events and gifting talent with the latest audio gear.
