"Peter and Vandy" director-screenwriter Jay DiPietro wrote about these characters, a couple at various stages of their relationship, originally as a play in which he played Peter.

The difference between the play and the movie? "The play only had two people in it, and it was all in the living room," DiPietro said in a Q&A Monday night at the Racquet Club Theatre in Park City.

DiPietro filmed his movie in 18 days - a sprint, even by indie-film standards - and shot his main actors, Jason Ritter and Jess Weixler (pictured here with DiPietro), mostly by their characters' chronology. He then edited the movie into a disjointed timeline, so "you get to know this couple, and then you see them at the beginning."
