Mass resignations at Denver Film Society?

According to indieWIRE, several key members of the Denver Film Society have resigned – including Festival Director Britta Erickson and Artistic Director Brit Withey and co-founder Ron Henderson – and another 17 are on their way out in protest of Executive Director Bo Smith's direction.

"The reason the staff is leaving is because of Bo [Smith’s] handling of the organization and not the economic situation facing the organization," Withey told indieWIRE.

According to a source to indieWIRE, there are only five staff members left.
