Heading north to Telluride, Colorado
The first stop on my drive to Prince Rupert, B.C. to catch the ferry to Alaska, was Telluride, Colorado. We were attending the Telluride Mountain Film Festival to see my son’s film “Low and Clear.” How many of you have been to Telluride? No matter what time of year, the drive from the North, South East or West is spectacular…! We drove in from the South via Delores.
Pulling into Telluride
There are two film festivals in Telluride: the Telluride Film Festival and the Telluride Mountain Film Fest. We attended the latter.

Kahlil and Tyler’s film “Low and Clear” is a documentary about the relationship between two passionate fishermen. The story is touching, naturally funny in parts, and the cinematography is astounding (and I’m not saying that because my son is an excellent photographer!). See the “Low and Clear” trailer at Kahlil’s website; click here.
Tyler Hughen and Kahlil Hudson answer audience questions; Kahlil portrays slight traits of his Tlingit background - he is almost what the Lower 48ers call "long-winded"...we call it being a natural-born storyteller...

Walking Telluride is like walking the remnants of once was almost a ghost mining town to an upper-class model of a Universal Pictures set - everything has not only been refurbished, but it is alive with the bustling of people, cars, products and lights...
