While on the ground during this year\u2019s installment, <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> bumped into filmmaker Joe Peeler who offered up his rather unique route to becoming a Sundance Film Festival director: He once worked as a barista in the Acura Studio lounge. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    What makes the story even better is, a decade after his coffee-making debut, Peeler, alongside co-director Rebecca Landsberry-Baker, received a U.S. documentary special jury award for freedom of expression for their 2023 festival selection <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/festival.sundance.org\/program\/film\/638a1ffad406b20f68f2e3f2\">Bad Press<\/a><\/em>. The film, produced by Conrad Beilharz, Garrett F. Baker and Tyler Graim, follows a rogue reporter who, faced with the censorship of the free press in Muscogee Nation, fights to expose her government\u2019s corruption in a historic battle that will have ramifications for all of Indian country. <\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1000px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((1000\/1000)*100%);\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GettyImages-1460076070-EMBED-2023.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"Joe Peeler and Angel Ellis pose with The U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award: Freedom of Expression for 'BAD PRESS' during the 2023 Sundance Film Festival Awards Ceremony at The Ray Theatre on January 27, 2023 in Park City, Utah.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GettyImages-1460076070-EMBED-2023.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/GettyImages-1460076070-EMBED-2023.jpg?resize=200,200 200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"\" height=\"1000\" width=\"1000\" decoding=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"a-font-secondary-s lrv-u-margin-r-025\">Joe Peeler and Angel Ellis, the reporter and subject of <em>Bad Press<\/em>, pose with the award during the Sundance awards ceremony at the Ray Theatre in Park City on Jan. 27. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                    <cite class=\"a-font-accent-uppercase-xs lrv-u-color-grey-dark\">Matt Winkelmeyer\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cIt is very exciting and feels very surreal,\u201d Peeler told <em>THR<\/em>. \u201cAnd also very weird to come from a place where I felt like I was on the outskirts of the industry, making coffee for all the film teams coming in every morning to now being here this year, having arrived as a filmmaker in a way. It\u2019s very nice. But what I have not forgotten is that view of the entire festival, the excitement of being here but also knowing about all the hard work that goes into everything. I know what it\u2019s like to have dumped ice out on the curb after a long shift, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Peeler was familiar with the barista duties prior to landing the Acura gig, too. During high school, he worked at a local Starbucks, which was experience that helped him get the gig thanks to <em>Bad Press<\/em> producer Beilharz, who ran a catering company. \u201cHe hired me because of a deal they had with Acura, and I remember that we were always so busy every day because, at the time \u2014 this was in 2012 or 2013 \u2014 we were among the first places that served free, hot coffee in the morning so there was always a line out the door,\u201d Peeler recalled. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Since then, Peeler has built up a resume thanks to steady editing work on a variety of short films, features and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>. His Sundance experience also includes seeing a short film he edited, <em>The Lion\u2019s Mouth Opens<\/em>, debut at the fest in 2014. But being back this year with <em>Bad Press <\/em>\u2014\u00a0and winning an award to boot \u2014 has no doubt delivered an experience that he won\u2019t soon forget. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cAs a filmmaker, you make a movie in a vacuum and you don\u2019t know what is going to h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en with it. You just have to trust that the idea or the story is good enough to keep you interested for years. With <em>Bad Press<\/em>, we were always aiming for Sundance because we imagined that it would provide the best future for our film. So it\u2019s amazing to be here and that it happened to coincide with the return of the in-person festival. It\u2019s all just very surreal.\u201d  <\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1000px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((562\/1000)*100%);\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FPK-SUNDANCE-PNG-copy-EMBED-2023.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"A still from the film Bad Press, a selection of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FPK-SUNDANCE-PNG-copy-EMBED-2023.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FPK-SUNDANCE-PNG-copy-EMBED-2023.jpg?resize=125,70 125w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FPK-SUNDANCE-PNG-copy-EMBED-2023.jpg?resize=681,383 681w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/FPK-SUNDANCE-PNG-copy-EMBED-2023.jpg?resize=450,253 450w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"\" height=\"562\" width=\"1000\" decoding=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"a-font-secondary-s lrv-u-margin-r-025\">A still from the film <em>Bad Press<\/em>, a selection of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                    <cite class=\"a-font-accent-uppercase-xs lrv-u-color-grey-dark\">Courtesy of Sundance<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
