Film

Friday, 7PM-Late

We’re screening four of our all-time favorite film and video projects on the top floor of the YU Contemporary, with the creative people behind them to answer questions about their work. Get your popcorn and Red Vines ready.

2 Player Productions

Portland-based 2 Player Productions are the documentary filmmakers behind two of Kickstarter's biggest successes, Minecraft: The Story of Mojang and Double Fine Adventure. Cofounders Paul Owens and Asif Siddiky kick off the night with unseen footage from both projects.

Indie Game: The Movie

In this Sundance award-winning documentary, filmmakers Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky follow four critically-acclaimed developers as they risked everything to finish their games. Funded on Kickstarter, it broke new ground as the first feature-length film distributed on VHX and Steam.

Heat Vision and Jack

Ten years before CommunityDan Harmon got his start writing the best unaired television pilot of all time — Heat Vision and Jack, about a crime-fighting astronaut and his motorcycle friend. Directed by Ben Stiller, and starring Jack Black and Owen Wilson, the Internet cult classic is just about the best thing ever, and Fox rejected it. Maybe Dan Harmon can tell us why.

Star Wars Uncut: The Director's Cut

Take the most-loved sci-fi adventure ever, split it into 15-second clips, and ask thousands of fans to remake their favorite segment however they see fit. The result is the Emmy-winning Star Wars Uncut, arguably the most insane and impressive fan-film of all time.
