Telluride Film Festival

I’m excited to be returning to the Telluride Film Festival this year.

I’ve had so many great experiences there that are worth remembering.

“No matter what kind of year I have had, if I come to Telluride, it’s been a good year.”

— Werner Herzog

Here are some of the people I’ve met, listened to, and/or talked to at Telluride.

• Karilyn and I met Micky Rooney the first year we went!
• We passed by Phillip Seymour Hoffman on a sidewalk.
• I watched Leiv Schreiber talk on a panel.
• I talked with Ethan Hawke briefly after he talked in the courthouse.
• I saw Greta Gerwig‘s talk in the courthouse.
• I listened to Chelsea Clinton talk about abortions and women’s care.
• I’ve listened to Ken Burns more than once!
• Last year, I was a few feet away from both of the leads for Anora.
• Last year, I listened to Pharrell Williams talk about Piece by Piece.
• And there have been so many more!

The Telluride Film Festival is a magical place. I won’t forget about it after the Sundance Film Festival comes to Boulder, Colorado!
