Core to the Sundance festivities last month, was the first ever K-Swiss Ping Pong Challenge, where four filmmakers squared off at the net, as well as on screen.  K-Swiss used the opportunity to enlist an excellent videographer in Travis Graalman that offered a bit of Ping Pong history. Apparently the sport was born the Victorian era, when dinner was followed by clearing the table for a game with books stacked up to be used as a net. These four filmmakers showed their competitive spirit, taking the challenge of this “casual” sport very seriously — going out for the win, which went Skateland’s Anthony Burns, who, if not for his prowess behind the camera, could have been a ringer. Peep the video and watch out  for the next Ping Pong Challenge in Austin, TX for SXSW in March.
