 Lisa begins work on her documentary, filming the family having breakfast. Lisa tells everyone to just be themselves and forces Homer to remove his toupee. He said he was going for a "Shia LeBeouf thing." Homer starts smooching on Marge, which grosses Bart out. Lisa captures all of the goings-on in the Simpson house, Marge folding the same shirt over and over because she's focused on the TV, Bart kissing and then punching his teddy bear, the pets in a tug of war with Maggie, Homer passed out on the lawn. Superintendent Chalmers comes to the school and is glad to hear that Skinner is encouraging Lisa in her filmmaking. He wants to show up the Springfield Creative Arts Academy and thinks Lisa's film could do just that. Skinner suggests showing the film at the library, but Chalmers is thinking bigger—film festival bigger—Sundance bigger. If Lisa's film is a hit, the school won't be known only for having the highest hamster mortality rate. They'll also "have a kid who did a thing." The band adds a score to the film and the bullies become Foley artists, "awesoming up the sound effects" by punching Martin to sweeten the sound of Marge pounding on the bottom of a ketchup bottle.
-Meanwhile, the Sundance organizers are having trouble finding films for the festival. They've got a film with Paul Giamatti as the world's greatest super spy who exists only in the mind of an overweight, agoraphobic jazz musician - played by Martin Lawrence in a fat suit. Lisa's film is a shoo-in, since she's a vegetarian and an intellectual misfit, causing all the organizers except one to faint (or die). "Capturing the Simpsons" is in at Sundance. Lisa's excited that she's going to a film festival. Homer is too - taking the word "film festival" literally and picturing strips of celluloid dancing in sombreros to Mexican music and their party being broken up by DVDs. The family arrives in Utah for the festival ("Where Parker Posey Meets Parka-ed Posers") Homer's hoping to meet director Jim Jarmusch and "ask him who he is." He finds Jim and the director says his films are meant to tell who he is. He can also eat a raw onion without crying. He takes a bite and immediately starts to cry, which he tells Homer is "about something else. This is the last time we'll ever be together." Homer says "Awww" and they embrace. Marge can't seem to find a movie to watch - "Regularsville" features a cross-dresser and "Candyland" was about heroin addicts. Marge assumed all of the movie titles "mean the opposite of what they mean" and assumes she'll love "Chernobyl Graveyard". She didn't. [[File:Sundance-simpsons.jpg|thumb]]

 It's finally time for Lisa's big premier. Homer can't wait to see it, until he realizes it's a documentary. Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers don't have passes and try to get Bart to vouch for them. Of course, he tells the usher that he's never seen them before in his life. They get put on a sled and careen into a Mormon chapel - and come out with a bunch of brides - one of whom tells them that this is all a figment of their imagination and that they actually crashed and are passed out in the snow. The film, produced by "Chalmskinn Productions" begins. Lisa shows her family in all of its dysfunction, including Homer blowing up during a game of Chutes and Ladders. An audience member notes "what a wonderful film about horrible people." Another scene features Bart breaking dishes and Homer walking in with bare feet. Marge cleans up after them and Lisa wishes her a "Happy Birthday." The end. The film gets a standing ovation. Marge asked Lisa how she could do such a thing to them. Marge said lots of things got changed in the editing room, however, right after she says that a full-screen credit popped up that said the film was "proudly edited" by Lisa. Whoops.
