“The Telluride Film Festival is a magical event, taking over the small town almost completely, so the person at the table next to you at breakfast is pitching someone a script, you’re chatting for an hour with an indie film distributor in line for the global premiere of a future Oscar winner, or you brush by Paul Mescal, Margot Robbie, or Stellan Skarsgard while dashing to catch your next film. The donors who make our graduate students’ attendance possible are providing a truly immersive and absolutely invaluable experience of film culture for our graduate students.” – Jonathan Gray, Professor in Communication Arts
