Of course, those who helped get the Overlooked Film Festival started and support it hope it doesn't grow too big and lose the intimacy of the first two festivals or acquire any of the commercialism of most of the larger ones. Still, many of these people would seem to agree with Wade, whose paper under his editorship was one of the prominent financial supporters of the festival. Roger Plummer '64 ENG , who have hosted annual receptions in Chicago for the festival, look at it. That's certainly the way the people at the college who raise the money, sponsor and coordinate the festival look at it. And they've got reason to believe that that will happen because of the comments and perspective from local people who attended the festival and from guests with film industry connections from across the United States and around the world.
Nobody can put on pretensions.
The people who come with the films are there just like they are here. And they mingle, and it's great. And I think the main purpose of Telluride is to bring in people to that area when they don't have skiing. So it works very, very well. I mean, if you want to go to another film festival, I'd recommend it.
