Mountainfilm On Tour rocks — even “virtually!”
Hundreds of Western Colorado Alliance members and other Western Colorado residents enjoyed Mountainfilm On Tour – Grand Junction — during the weekend of November 20, in the comfort of their own homes!
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film festival — which has become an annual favorite in Grand Junction — was held as an online event for the first time.
Mountainfilm On Tour – Grand Junction has for many years been the largest fundraiser of the year for our Alliance.
When the decision was made to conduct the festival online, no one knew what it would mean for the bottom line. But eventually, nearly 500 people signed up to watch the festival this year.
This year’s theme was “adventure,” and the films delivered that without question. “As I was watching the films, I kept thinking, ‘These people are insane!’” said Alliance Operations and Finance Director Stefanie Harville. She said the “insanity” was mitigated by the inspiration she felt in seeing people driven by their passion.
It was the people in the films who also inspired Alliance member Penny Heuscher. “Some demonstrated total selflessness, and all are reminders that we have goals we can attain when we stay focused on our heart and soul’s desire.”
Thanks to our sponsors!
