Young Hollywood

Hey guys, I'm Carly Steel here at one of the hottest parties of the Sundance Film Festival, Jennart's seven fresh faces in film.

Jason Ritter

Okay, so we're hanging out with Jason Ritter. I'm having a fantastic time and it's very exciting tonight with all the power out. And I thought I thought we were all going to form like a commune and start making our own food and it was exciting.

Young Hollywood

Now, you're being honored this evening as one of the fresh faces in film.

Jason Ritter

If there's seven fresh faces, I'm I'm number seven, certainly, because everyone else is very pretty and

Young Hollywood

Okay, so we're hanging out with Nip/Tuck star Dylan Walsh. What brings you to Sundance?

Dylan Walsh

I have a movie here called Just Add Water with Danny DeVito and also I just want to party. I've been here before but not for the festival.

Young Hollywood

What's been your favorite part so far?

Dylan Walsh

I just got here. Right now, my favorite part is you.

Young Hollywood

Oh, I love you, Dylan. Who really better to be hanging out with than one of the most in-demand hottest directors of the time, Jason Reitman. Now, how have you seen Sundance change over the years?

Jason Reitman

Well, look around you. I never went to a party like this in '98. The way I describe Sundance is, it's like you take Toronto, Cannes, Berlin, every film festival in the world, stick it into a shoe box and light it on fire.

Young Hollywood

We're here with director extraordinary McG, who also directed Chuck.

McG

You know, it's fun to see the hype and the fun, but it's also very interesting to see films come out that are coming from non-traditional, non-Hollywood environments. I encourage people to go out there, shoot on DVCAM and tell great stories.

Young Hollywood

We're here with Rachel Taylor, star of Transformers and Bottle Shock. Now, you are known for, obviously, Transformers. Would you prefer being an indie versus big budget?

Rachel Taylor

Indie, absolutely, independent film. There's just such a great sense of ownership that all of the artists have on an independent film. I just think there's such a great spirit and willingness that independent filmmakers have.

Young Hollywood

Is this your first time at Sundance?

Rachel Taylor

Yes. Yes. But I hope it's not my last. It's fun.

Jason Ritter
