The K-Swiss Ping Pong Classic - Sundance 2010

The behind the scenes film by Travis Graalman capturing the excitement and drama surrounding the 1st ever K-Swiss Ping Pong Challenge, we follow four filmmakers at the Sundance Film Festival as they square off to pronounce themselves not only magnificent storytellers, but superior athletes. Ping Pong took root during the Victorian era, when dinner parties were followed with contests at the table - books stacked up to be used as a net. Ping Pong and storytelling have always gone hand in hand, so where better to find the next table tennis champion than at Sundance -- where 'story' is King.

Join us as we take a look inside this thrilling competition, where networking may not be quite as important... as working the net.

Travis Graalman, Independent Preditor (producer/editor), got his editing career off the ground working for Miramax Films in New York, where he worked with the office of the co-chairmen on such campaigns as Shakespeare in Love and The Cider House Rules. In 2001 he moved to Hollywood, landing in cutting rooms for DIE, MOMMIE, DIE! And MY BOSSS DAUGHTER, before returning to the studio fold, as an editor for Sony Pictures.

Writing, producing and editing long-form specials for an array of films from Spider-Man 2 to Mike Nichols Closer he went on to co-found Jamestown Productions in 2005, a production house servicing clients such as 20th Century Fox and Lionsgate. Recent Jamestown highlights include producing/editing behind-the-scenes materials for Drew Barrymores WHIP IT, and Michael Jacksons now legendary THIS IS IT Tour.
