Press junket and interview production during Sundance in Boulder

Earth Coast Productions builds and runs interview suites in Boulder, Colorado during the Sundance Film Festival (January 21–31, 2027): a lit two- or three-camera set in a hotel suite, venue green room, or activation space, with an operator, an audio technician, and same-day selects. We are based in Broomfield, about 25 minutes from the Hotel Boulderado, and have produced interview and EPK-style content for Front Range clients since 2011.

How it works

Interview Suites & Press Junkets, festival week

A junket day is a schedule problem as much as a production problem. We arrive before the first slot, light the room once, and hold the look for every talent rotation, so the day runs on the publicist's timetable instead of ours. Per-camera and per-microphone ISO recordings go straight to a producer on site who pulls selects between slots; a rough assembly of the day's best moments can be in your inbox before the evening screening.

Year-round, this is our Creative & video production work; during January 21–31, 2027 it is scheduled around the festival's screenings, press days, and receptions in Boulder.

Proof

At Onyx Insight's 2025 North American Technical Symposium, Earth Coast Productions recorded a private set of one-on-one C-suite interviews alongside the public highlight reel and social cut — the same on-site set, rotation, and same-week delivery model we run for a festival junket.

FAQ

Common questions

Can Earth Coast set up an interview suite or press junket in a Boulder hotel during Sundance?

Yes. Earth Coast Productions builds lit two- or three-camera interview sets inside Boulder hotel suites, venue green rooms, and activation spaces during the Sundance Film Festival, with an operator, an audio technician, and a producer managing talent slots. Sessions are recorded in isolation per camera and per microphone, and same-day selects are delivered so publicists can move clips while the festival is still running.

How far is Earth Coast Productions from the Sundance festival venues in Boulder?

Earth Coast Productions is based at Earth Coast Studios in Broomfield, Colorado, roughly 12 miles and about a 25-minute drive via US-36 from downtown Boulder, where the festival's Hotel Boulderado headquarters, Boulder Theater, eTown Hall, and the Dairy Arts Center sit within a few blocks of each other. The CU Boulder venues, Chautauqua Auditorium, and Cinemark Century Boulder are all within a similar drive. Crew, gear, and edit capacity stay local for the whole festival, with no travel or shipping costs.

Can I get the raw footage from my project?

We get this question a lot, and it's a great one. The short answer: raw footage is available through a separate raw video license — but before you go that route, here's what you should know.

Raw footage is exactly that — raw. It comes straight off the camera with no color grading, no audio mixing, and no editing. It's unpolished, unorganized, and without professional post-production tools and experience, it's not really usable. Think of it like getting all the ingredients for a meal instead of the finished dish — technically it's all there, but you'd need a full kitchen and a chef to do anything with it.

Then there's the sheer volume. A single camera shooting one 8-hour event day can generate up to a terabyte of footage. A multi-camera, multi-day production? You're looking at several terabytes — which means delivery requires shipping a physical hard drive, not a quick download link. And sifting through all of that without knowing what you're looking for? Trust us, that's a job best left to the pros.

The good news is, if you're looking to create additional content from your project — like a promo, recap, or highlight reel — there are faster and more cost-effective ways to get what you need:

Option A — We cut it for you. Share your direction, target length, and any music or messaging notes, and we'll deliver a finished piece ready to go.

Option B — We pull a select reel. Tell us what you're looking for — key moments, themes, speakers, b-roll types — and we'll export a curated selection you can edit from on your end.

Most clients find that one of these options gets them to the finish line faster (and cheaper) than working from raw files. Just reach out and we'll figure out the best path for your project.

Who owns the final content?

You do. Once the project is paid in full, the finished deliverables are yours to use however you'd like — website, ads, social, internal training, future campaigns. We retain the right to use the work in our own portfolio and case studies unless you've specifically asked us not to.

Is Earth Coast Productions affiliated with the Sundance Film Festival?

No. Earth Coast Productions is an independent production company based in Broomfield, Colorado, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Sundance Institute. The company offers its services to brands, publicists, media outlets, and event hosts who are producing their own events and content in Boulder during festival week.
