Ready, Set, Bag!

February 11th, 2010 No Comments

Part 2 of my Sundance review…I was supposed to write more earlier but got sick, and you know how that goes.

I was fortunate enough to run into Oren and Justine Jacob in the lobby of our hotel at Sundance. Turns out they were in town to show of “Ready, Set, Bag!” which Justine directed and produced, and Oren executive produced. It’s a documentary based on the national competition for Best Bagger. As in, people bagging groceries for speed and accuracy. This film particularly struck a chord with me since I earned my stripes in similarly obscure competition; which was scratching records for speed and accuracy. I’m not sure what the film is rated (I’m guessing PG at the most), but I guarantee fun for the entire family, especially if any of you have worked in a supermarket (which I have). At the heart of it all is a great story about being passionate about something that most people take for granted. Check out www.readysetbag.com to attend a screening and get your copy!
