Actress, Juliette Lewis and My Name is Earl’s star Ethan Suplee play the game of Quelf during their interview at The Room Live at Sundance.

Two Crocmedia LA clients banded together to bring an interactive studio, The Room Live at Sundance, to the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. The Room Live at Sundance was built on the concept of getting provocative talent mass exposure through the web streaming utilised by The Room Live.

Partnering with Quelf, a best–selling boardgame from Adelaide–based, Imagination Games, created an environment where impromptu random fun could be incorporated into the interview. From barnyard sing alongs to interpretive dancing, talent such as Juliette Lewis, Ethan Suplee (My Name is Earl), Ryan Gosling, and Stephanie Pratt (The Hills) all experienced the “Quelf effect” when they picked their card at the end of each interview.
