K-Swiss Ping Pong Classic during the Sundance Film Festival

Cast members and filmmakers from four festival films including "Douchebag", "Lovers of Hate," "Obselidia" and "Skateland" battled it out on the ping pong court at the K-Swiss Ping Pong Classic. All the films competing on the court are also competing for Sundance’s Best Dramatic Feature. In addition, the winning film from the K-Swiss Ping Pong Short Film Challenge, created by Gabriel Sunday called "Chinese Penhold," will also have its world premiere screening at the event.

The competing festival films were:
"Douchebag" - represented by actor Andrew Dickler
"Lovers of Hate" - represented by actor Alex Karpovsky
"Obselidia" - represented by director Diane Bell
"Skateland" represented by director Anthony Burns

CHINESE PENHOLD:
Jake Scribner is a rugged burnout bro from Ocean City Maryland with a girlfriend that won't get off his freakin' back and an undying passion for competition. He finds himself at a ridiculous party in the Valley and must face the most important match of his life. Overwhelmed by a sense of self doubt, he must face the voices in his head, find balance and discover the true spirit of the game. Gabriel Sunday is actor/writer/editor of the festival favorite My Suicide, which had its New York premiere at the Gen Art Film Festival. The film will be released theatrically this year.
