'''''You Instead''''' is a 2011 British "Rock 'n' roll romantic comedy"<ref>http://entertainment.stv.tv/film/270899-how-85000-t-in-the-park-extras-helped-create-you-instead/</ref> written by [[Thomas Leveritt]] and directed by [[David Mackenzie (director)|David Mackenzie]]. The film stars [[Luke Treadaway]], [[Natalia Tena]], [[Gavin Mitchell (actor)|Gavin Mitchell]] and [[Alastair MacKenzie]].

While looking for his manager he happens upon Morello who is the lead singer for the all girl punk band ''The Dirty Pink's''. The two do not get along and end up arguing, while doing so attracting the attention of a preacher who decides to teach them both a lesson in Cooperation and Compromise. He handcuffs the two together and disposes of the key, leaving the two stuck together until the handcuffs can be removed.

==Production==
''You Instead'' was filmed in 5 days at the 2010 [[T in the Park]] Festival in Kinross, [[Scotland]]. As the movie was filmed on site at [[T in the Park]] the cast and crew were constantly reacting to their surroundings and incorporating them into the performances. The cast and crew camped backstage at the festival instead of the campsite in a specially designed marquee which housed 80 tents. The film was edited daily after shooting was finished for the day as scenes could not be re-after the festival was finished.<ref>http://www.creativescotland.com/showcase/filming-in-scotland/you-instead</ref> Director [[David Mackenzie]] said one of the factors of him casting the two lead parts was that [[Luke Treadaway]] and [[Natalia Tena]] both had musical experience, ''"Luke Treadaway and Natalia Tena both have musical experience – Luke’s first movie called Brothers of the Head involved him and his brother playing in some proto-punk band, and Natalia’s got her own band called [[Molotov Jukebox]] who are very good."''.<ref>http://www.list.co.uk/article/32737-you-instead-david-mackenzies-film-shot-in-four-days-at-t-in-the-park/</ref> Two of the songs performed in the film were written by Treadaway and Tena.

==Festival Setting==
[[File:T in the Park Festival 2010.jpg|thumb|T int The Park Mainstage]]
T in the Park is a major [[music festival]] held in [[Balado]], [[Kinross-shire]], [[Scotland]]. The festivals opening year was in 1994 and it has been held annually since. The festivals main sponsor is [[Tennents]] Brewery, The reason for the 'T' in the title, and is sponsored by [[DF Concerts]]. The festival was originally held in [[Strathclyde Park]], [[Lanarkshire]] for the first 4 years and ran for 2 days but since then has changed to a 3 day weekend with the option of an extra Thursday night camping. The festival has been the host to many famous bands over the years with acts including [[Foo Fighters]], [[Eminem]], [[Green Day]] and [[The Killers]]. The festival director [[Geoff Ellis]] says "The film really captures the spirit of what T in the Park is about!" <ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-14028418</ref> It allows the viewers of the film to experience the festival through the eyes of bands that travel to T in the Park instead of just attending as a regular guest, thus really allowing the full T in the park experience.

==Release==
''You Instead'' premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival in March 2011.<ref>http://www.list.co.uk/article/32940-gff-blog-you-instead-premiere-creates-perfect-t-in-the-park-vibe/</ref> and went on limited release in September 2011. The film was also shown to Thursday night campers at the festival the following year, 2011.<ref>http://www.youngscot.org/mag/451-t-in-the-park-film-to-air-at-festival</ref> The festival is known to show films to campers to occupy their time on Thursday as there is no live music performed until the Friday of the festival. ''You Instead'' Director [[David Mackenzie]] said: "After shooting the film entirely at last year's T in the Park, it was only natural that we brought it back to where it was born, one year on."<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-14028418</ref>

==Reception==
''You Instead'' was released to poor to mixed reaction from critics. Peter Bradsaw of [[The Guardian]] gave the film one out of five <ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2011/sep/15/you-instead-review</ref> saying ''"A jaw-droppingly self-indulgent, shallow, smug if mercifully brief feature with a plot that looks like the outline for a pop video"'' and Graham Young of the [[Birmingham Post]] gave the film zero stars out of five<ref>http://www.birminghampost.net/life-leisure-birmingham-guide/birmingham-culture/film-news/2011/09/14/movie-reviews-tinker-tailor-soldier-spy-30-minutes-or-less-you-instead-jane-eyre-65233-29421705/</ref> stating ''"I’ve only walked out of one movie in my reviewing life – and that’s Penalty King (2006) which I knew would never get a Midlands’ release.The mercifully brief You Instead comes a close second. It is pointless, inept and impossible to warm to"''

While [[Total Film]] gave the film three stars out of five <ref>http://www.totalfilm.com/reviews/cinema/you-instead?ns_campaign=reviews&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=totalfilm&ns_linkname=0&ns_fee=0</ref> saying ''"It’s not quite Before Sunrise with mud and portaloos then, but warm vibes, buzzy crowd scenes and the two leads’ enthusiasm will pull you through to the morning after."'' Leo Robson from [[The Financial Times]] gave the film three stars out of five <ref>http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/1ccaf270-df7b-11e0-845a-00144feabdc0.html?ftcamp=rss#axzz1Y3NN8AXl</ref> saying ''"The film shouldn’t work, and for the most part doesn’t; but it left me smiling"''.
