Sundance 2025 Kicks Off With Technical Glitches, Questlove and Anxiety About the Future of Indie Film
During the five-minute sound test, the house lights went on. The movie was hurriedly replayed, but the issue continued to disturb viewers throughout, eliciting frustrated cries of “Nooooo!” from the tense audience. Fortunately, this didn’t diminish the overall positive reception of the film nor the impressive dual role played by Dylan O’Brien as the film’s twin characters. However, it was marred by excessive chatter from the Sundance tech and ground staff (not the volunteers who remained warm and welcoming in their unique Kenneth Cole down jackets). This created quite a disruptive start to the event. Despite technical difficulties, the “Twinless” team seemed overwhelmed by their big debut.
