Hey folks, hadn't heard a thing about this film, so I pass it on to you... What have you heard? This Pilgrim seemed to really latch onto it. What say you?
I just saw the pseudo-documentary "Road to Park City" at a screening of winners from the New England Film and Video Festival, and I was so impressed that I felt that I should notify you of the movie's excessive hilarity.
Man, this movie kicked ass. It's written and directed by Bret Stern, who I guess has done a couple of other features that I've never seen. It starred John Viener as John Viener, a career Production Assistant who decides one day that he's going to make an independent film and take it to Sundance. In order to become a director, he purchases a baseball cap.
The movie was so god damned funny, I can barely describe. I work on independent films, so I'm familiar with all of the film crap that John Viener has to learn about throughout the course of the film, so it was extra funny for me, but the people I was with (non-film people) were also laughing their asses off.
I don't know what will become of this fine film, but I hope that it will get into Sundance, as they certainly earned a shot by saying the word "sundance" about 800 times during the hour and a half movie. I hope it finds a distributor, as I actually would like to see it again. It was so good, though, I'm not too worried. This won't be the last time you hear about "Road to Park City."
