Joe Swanberg's Quiet City(NaN)
'LOL' director Joe Swanberg was given an early screenplay draft of 'Quiet City' the day before he and friends Tipper Newton and Kevin Bewersdorf flew from Chicago to Seattle for a film festival.

Before Aaron Katz had finished the real film, Swanberg e-mailed a link to his version and claimed to have just sent his rough cut to Sundance, sending Katz into a panic until he realized he'd been hoodwinked.
