Hey everybody, Lane here reporting from Telluride! Yesterday I felt like hell adjusting to the altitude (around 10,000 ft!). These are my first real mountains! And boy, one is surrounded by them-- you can't look around without seeing one! This place is heaven. All anyone talks about is film. Today I took a gondola up to see the sites and went to a farmers market (got organically grown peach and Kalua and Milk Chocolate jar of fudge made here)-- later on our symposium will meet with Ken Burns, Laura Linney (yay! I actually say her yesterday while she was checking in at the film fest tent named Brigadoon, apparently when she was an acting honoree a couple of years ago she fell in love with her host and now lives here part of the year) and the guest director of this year's festival. Then we have the opening night feed (free food and intro to the festival) and then two back to back movies which we will have to run to in order to get seats! Anyways, premiering here are Volver (Penelope Cruz is this year's acting honoree), Little Children, Babel (which I saw last night and whose director we will meet in a couple of days), the U.S. vs. John Lennon, Jindabyne, The Last King of Scotland and many others that I won't get to see!
Love you all!
Love you all!
