This marks my 15th year coming to the Telluride Film Festival, and somewhere in there, I think it may be eleven, working for the film festival.

I'm one of the managers at the Chuck Jones theater, which just got a three-year sponsorship from Netflix and a much-needed refresh of signage and some new additions. MUCH needed.

For you film aficionados, this has to be one of the best "pure" film festivals out there. A true celebration of movies as it isn't a market. It's a small city, six hours away from Denver, tucked inside some of Colorado's biggest mountains. You won't be driving. The only mode of transportation you'll probably take is the famed gondola to go from the city to my theater in "Mountain Village."

Outside of a few oddities, every movie that plays at Telluride is a US Premiere, and while you can deduct what may play at the film festival from how other film festivals designate their premiere status, the schedule isn't released until the night prior to the start.

Today is that day....

Looking forward to adding more to this thread as the week goes on!
