Matthew Caldwell
Creative Director, HP Newsgram
How’s this for a cool job: Go to Sundance, videotape the stars, directors, and other interesting people and get paid for it. HP special contributor Matt Pope has just this job.
Matt Pope shoots Simon Townshend
He’s a busy guy too, rushing from place to place with video camera in hand, bringing clips of the festival to HP’s Backstage at Sundance blog.
Matt arrived early Wednesday (the day before the festival launched) and recorded some footage of the people, products and technology behind the scenes with HP at Sundance. Take a look.
How did he get such a sweet gig?
Matt’s film won The Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmakers Competition in 2005. That caught the eye of some folks from HP and they hired him to cover the festival this year.
Matt is also involved in the HP Snapshot Diaries Contest.
He’ll take winning entries and compose a slideshow movie (see an example here). There’s still time to enter the content, so give it your best shot. You could get the red carpet treatment at next year’s Sundance Film Festival.
