The Second screening of What are the Odds was SRO at the Durango Independent Film Festival on Saturday Night. Ten minutes prior to show time, the box office was sold out and the had to turn people away. The response to the film What are the Odds? was overwhelmingly positive. People loved the play on color, the cleverness of the script, and the playful editing style. The biggest reaction that we heard was towards the adorable characters that Jessica and Christopher were expertly able to bring to life.
The Durango Independent FIlm Festival changed management this year, but we never would have guessed that they pulled the event off in a matter of months. During the entire festival we were treated like royalty. The staff at DIFF went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. They arranged our travel and accommodations and even gave us a hospitality box when we arrived filled with local treats. Our biggest treat was when a stretch SUV limo came to the General Palmer Hotel to take Julie and I to the airport. Turned out the luxury cruiser was only for us. When does that happen for short film makers?
