Denver Film Society: Update

Yeah, this is a few days old, but it's important nonetheless. The Denver Film Society ousted Executive Director Bo Smith after 21 of its staff resigned. Britta Erickson has been named the interim executive director while the board of directors begins its search.

I'm not sure the full story behind what's happened aside from the staff and Smith disagreeing with the direction the DFS was going – particularly in the financial realm. But it seems like this is a good move for the organization going forward.

I briefly chatted with one of the DFS staff members over the weekend and they told me that the budget is still a big concern and there are certain to be cuts but hopefully nothing too drastic.
