If you take a look at this quick video clip I took from my balcony, you can get an idea of the gigantic storm slamming Denver right now.

Red Carpet coverage from Opening Night at SDFF

I was browsing my Google Alerts at work today and I saw this video from Eden Lane of Colorado Outspoken. Eden was one of the fantastic members of the press on the the Red Carpet for our Opening Night presentation of The Brothers Bloom at the Starz Denver Film Festival this past November.

If you look closely, you can see me and my friend (and fellow publicist) Rachael in the background working the carpet and walking filmmakers to their interviews. Check it out for sure!

How cold is it?

It’s so cold that I feel like this might happen if I go outside:

Two Days Before The Day After Tomorrow

Last night, Denver broke all time records by reaching -15 degrees. This morning, despite the sun’s efforts, it was still about -13 with a predicted high of 16 above zero. We’d be lucky if we reached freezing today!

When I woke up to the radio talking about the crazy weather, I was immediately reminded of the South Park episode that was a parody of The Day After Tomorrow. In the episode, South Park declares a global warming emergency after a beaver dam breaks in the neighboring town of Beaverton. When global warming is determined to be the cause of the flood, everyone focuses on who’s to blame. It’s a spectacular episode because it contains a scene where a man is chased down and killed by global warming!

It also features a fantastic parody of the sequence in the film when Dennis Quaid and company are treking through the snow from Philadelphia to Manhattan to go rescue some kids from the library. In the SP version, the dads are dressed in full arctic gear and climbing through the sunny streets of the town. I can hardly do it justice, so check out the episode to see why the scene is so rad.

Either way, this crazy ass weather makes me want to run down the streets shouting, “We didn’t listen!!!”

Starz Denver Film Festival: Cinematic Paradise

The 31st Starz Denver Film Festival is in full swing and, this year, I’ve had a very inside look at all the behind-the-scenes action. With my new job at the Denver Film Society, I’ve been able to watch this year’s fest grow from a tiny seed into a gigantic tree of cinematic enjoyment.
