London's Four Stories Premiere

The crowd streamed out of the Prince Charles Cinema in London's Leicester Square with pulses racing, energized by five amazing films, the thrill of travel, and the pull of technology-enabled connection. The historic movie theater played host to the premiere of Four Stories, a short film series with Roman Coppola and The Directors Bureau. Intel and W Hotels asked aspiring filmmakers from around the world to submit short screenplays set in W Hotels destinations and featuring an Intel-inspired Ultrabook™ as a central character. Roman and The Directors Bureau matched the four winning screenplays with some of the most talented up-and-coming filmmakers working today.

The films were fantastic: Lee Toland Krieger, of Celeste and Jesse Forever, directed Modern/Love, about the first meeting of a far-flung romance in Doha; Sundance favorite Spencer Susser directed Eugene, a dark comedy set in Washington D.C.; actress and director Lake Bell helmed ¡El Tonto!, a comedy about an unlikely friendship in Mexico City; and Kahlil Joseph told a metaphysical story of redemption, The Mirror Between Us, set in the beautiful Maldives.

Roman led the party down the street to W London - Leicester Square, where DJane kept the energy going with lively music and animated GIF making booths to let everyone make little films of their own using Ultrabook™ convertibles.
