Four Stories Premiere Event in Los Angeles

The Bruin Theater in Westwood played host to the U.S. premiere of Four Stories, a short film series from Intel and W Hotels in collaboration with Roman Coppola and The Directors Bureau, on Tuesday night. Hundreds watched the four original films by the program's winning screenwriters and some of Hollywood's hottest young directors, plus a fifth short by Roman Coppola himself.

Once the screening was complete, a spirited discussion and Q&A followed with the directors, actors, and winning screenwriters from the films—all of which was moderated by Hadrian Belove, the programmer behind top L.A. specialty theater, The Cinefamily.

Following the screening, the party moved down the street to the W Los Angeles - Westwood Hotel, where Roman Coppola; Jason Schwartzman, the star and co-writer of Roman's film, Die Again, Undead One; directors Lee Toland Krieger, Spencer Susser, and Lake Bell; and others, including actors from the films, helped celebrate the culmination of this year's collaboration between the two brands.

Executives from Intel and W Hotels Worldwide, including Deborah Conrad (Intel's chief marketing officer), Melissa Beers (worldwide co-marketing manager, Intel), George Fleck (senior director of global brand management for W Hotels Wordlwide), Elizabeth Broers (worldwide director of co-marketing, Intel), and Sarah Doyle (associate director, global partnership marketing, Luxury & Design Brands at Starwood Hotel & Resorts) joined Hollywood stars Brittany Snow, Annalynne McCord, and more to support the energy and passion of a new generation of filmmakers that Four Stories is advancing.

Guests enjoyed cocktails themed after the Four Stories films themselves, music by DJs Jacques Renault and POSSO, plus a performance by Rooney frontman—and the star of Modern/Love—Robert Schwartzman. An Ultrabook™ Cinema experience also allowed partygoers to create their own short films with animated GIFs.
