Maia Mitchell's New Film 'Never Goin' Back' Headed to Sundance Film Festival!

Big news for Maia Mitchell — her new film, Never Goin’ Back, is headed to the Sundance Film Festival!

The Fosters actress stars in the indie film as Angela, opposite Cami Morrone, about two high school dropout BFFs, who just want to take a week off to chill at the beach.

However, their house got robbed, the rent is due, they’re about to get fired and they’re broke. Now they’ve gotta avoid eviction, stay out of jail and get to the beach, no matter what.

“Congratulations to the team behind #NeverGoinBack, we’re going to Sundance!” Maia shared on Instagram. “The biggest thanks to @augustinefrizzell for trusting @camimorrone and I with your baby. We love you so much.”

Never Goin’ Back will be shown under the Midnight banner, which showcases an array of films “from horror and comedy to works that defy genre classification, these films will keep you wide awake, even at the most arduous hour.”

The 2018 Sundance Film Festival runs from January 18th through the 28th in Park City, Utah.
