The Sundance Film Festival announced its movies for the January powwow in Park City, Utah.

Now “The Morning Show” actor Mark Duplass has posted a comforting note to filmmakers whose works were not selected.

“We’ve been rejected so many times, and it always hurts,” Duplass says and cites three movies he’s made including “Biosphere,” which played at the Cannes Film Festival this year. He says of movies that didn’t make it, “If you think it’s great, keep pushing.”

Duplass can be seen in the Apple TV hit, “The Morning Show,” and in dozens of indie films, Next he’ll appear in “Hurricanna” about Anna Nicole Smith. He might be playing Anna’s friend, Howard Stern.

In the meantime, this is a nice thing to do.
