Sundance Video Blog: The Day Before The Fest

Posted on Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Day 2 in Park City. Sundance doesn’t officially begin until tomorrow night, so today we’re picking up our press badges and getting some pre-fest work done. The infamous Alex Billington of FirstShowing.net arrived at the Condo last night and ruined all the fun. We have a few more bloggers/writers/broadcasters coming in tomorrow.

But for now watch our second video blog to see “what happens when people stop being polite and start being real REEL.” The first official movie blogger fight/argument happened this morning. You’ll see some of that and much more, including a cameo flashback featuring Quentin Tarantino. I promise these will start being more movie related once the festival begins. But for now come along with us on the experience of being press at Sundance.

    Hahahahaha, I hadn't laughed out loud for a while until that....
  • Quentin Tarantino is the new monster!
  • He would make a good Riddler. If they can't secure Eddie Murphy, of course.
  • Peter -

    I want to go to Sundance next year and was wondering if you could a ball park number as to how much I need to save, money wise. Which if it's a ton, than in two years I want to go to Sundance LOL.

    thanks!
  • gah
    Peter go around and ask people if they've heard of slashfilm again like Dave did at comicon. That was so funny.
  • Alex Billington reminds me of Clark Duke.
  • Simon
    Yes!
  • elll
    Jesus, when they say it's only middle-aged white guys covering Hollywood, they aren't kidding.
  • kris
    Narcissistic drivel. Jesus if you come to utah at least cover some famous movie sites. Not where some facless douche gets bitch slapped.
  • gah
    At least he's not a faceless asshole like you.
  • mcgruff

  • Man i wish that Tarrantino footage had audio!

    Good work guys enjoying these vblgos
  • Tarantino is the man. The guy with the camera should have gotten his face kicked in though for acting like an idiot.
  • Good vid Peter, i must say i love your wallpaper on your phone. Good choice.
    Keep these vids coming.
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxYHxJahzmUTarantino with audio, it's pretty awesome.

    Can't wait to see more footage. Looking rad so far.
  • Keep 'em coming!
  • I love these vblogs, even when they're not really movie related.
  • gah
    you should just start calling them "Reel World: Sundance"
  • That's actually a good idea.
  • I hadn't laughed that hard in almost 17 minutes. It's also good to know that the image I have in my head of what film geeks are like in the real world wasn't too far off....and Alex Billington is a bitch.
  • TheMarquis
    The camera work was a bit avant-garde for my tastes, but the script was good. Tarantino borrowed too much from the silent era, but the reenactment was spot on. 4.5 stars.
  • Peter, very good correction of "more easy" to "easier" - always nice to see proper grammar in action on the interwebs. I'm an English major so, you know, ME LUV WURDZZ

    it looks like a blast up there, I look forward to see the rest of your vlogs
  • Who is the guy in the photo all the way to the right?

    (from left to right)
    Vic Holtreman - Alex Billington - Peter Sciretta - Neil Miller - ?
  • "Badges? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Badges!"

    Haha, heard that near the end, I love that quote...
  • Great stuff...Look forward to more updates.
    Someday I hope I can get there.
  • Its actually funny to see all of your mugs on screen.
  • Sean
    Been a reader/subscriber for sometime now, and I'll be working for one of the theaters this year at Sundance so...

    If you guys by chance see a show or two at the Broadway Centre Cinema in Salt Lake City, I'll give you all the free popcorn and drinks you want.

    Thanks for /Film!
  • Love the vlogs! I look forward to see what each day brings.
  • inshortilikedallofit
    these are my favourite parts:
    *cue peter CO*
    Peter: last night, um, Alex from FirstShowing.net arrived at the condo...and uh
    *cue last night at condo*

    Alex: *pant* catch the bus *pant* catch my breath too
    Peter: you do know it's a higher altitude, so you lose your breath more easily...
    Alex: i know. that's why i lost my breath.

    and of course when history repeats itself at the infamous Starbucks lol
