'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. In the airport on the return trip, the trio began shooting scenes with the movie function on a digital still camera, then edited, scored and titled the film during the flight. 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.
