With the 2010 Sundance Film Festival only a few days away, folks are scurrying to figure out their schedules and book interviews and buy snow boots. It’s so insane and so hectic, I heard 10 seconds with Kristen Stewart was going for five grand on eBay (but that’s just a rumor). Amidst the swag booths and celebrity firepower, though, are the smaller films in competition – most of which feature actors, actresses, writers and directors you’ve probably never heard of before. One of those writer-directors on the verge of breaking out is a guy named Drake Doremus, whose film ***Douchebag ***](http://sundance.bside.com/2010/films/douchebag_sundance2010?src=slide)is screening in U.S. Dramatic Competition at this year’s fest.
Doremus has been around the festival scene for awhile now; first with his short film The Shirt, and then with a feature called Spooner. But now he’s finally upgraded to a prime spot at Sundance, and I see no reason why he won’t be directing bigger films with more well-known casts in the years to come. But first, *Douchebag *follows two brothers who hate each other, yet somehow find themselves on a road trip to find the younger brother’s fifth grade girlfriend. For more, check out our Sundance Primer on Douchebag, which features The Shirt, as well a very cool music video Doremus recently directed.
*Cinematical *was lucky enough to score the first clip from *Douchebag *prior to its premiere at the festival. Check it out after the jump, along with Sundance’s “Meet the Artists” interview with Doremus.
