Ben Stookesberry is a 33-years-old gonzo kayaker, who makes his home in Chico, CA. Ben was baptized into Mountainfilm in Telluride's extended family of adventurers when the film he directed, "Kadoma," premiered at the festival in May. Festival director David Holbrooke chose to feature "Kadoma" when Mountainfilm on Tour headlines at the Walter Reade Theatre, Lincoln Center, this weekend, Friday, October 21 – Sunday, October 23. 
"The Apple Pushers," kicks off the weekend, when Mountainfilm in Telluride returns to the Big Apple, October 21 – October 23, for an encore program at Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theatre.
"Apple Pushers" is not about the friendly folks who sell bites out of the technological magic "The magician" (The Economist, October 8 – 14), Steven Jobs conjured. The documentary features a whole other category of vendors.
"The Apple Pushers," written and directed by Mary Mazzio, narrated by Edward Norton, and underwritten by the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, follows immigrant street vendors who roll fresh fruits and vegetables into the inner cities of New York, where finding a fresh red ripe apple can be a serious challenge. These pushcart vendors, who have immigrated here from all parts of the world are now part of a new experiment in New York to help solve the food crisis and skyrocketing obesity rates, particularly in the inner city.
Mountainfilm in Telluride began as a homespun gathering of outdoor enthusiasts 33+ years ago has evolved into a colorful tapestry of talks, exhibits, music and films. And Mountainfim has grown legs. Good news for Telluride, because there could be no better ambassador for the "brand."
I guess I recognized I was different at my first Halloween party in college. There I stood, white-chalked face and spiked black hair, with eight pairs of scissors taped to my fingers, a ghoulish version of Edward Scissorhands; I was surrounded by a bunch of sexy kittens, lingerie-clad angels and Playboy bunnies. Needless to say, I didn’t reel in any dates that night.
It was then that I realized there are two types of people in the world: People who like horror movies and people who don’t. Not everyone likes to be scared, so if you find yourself in the latter camp, you might want to skip to the next article or go shop online for a cute Halloween costume, something with ears or a thong. If you belong to the cloister of us who revere ghost stories, scary movies and spooky urban myths, read on. We’ve got a festival for you: the second annual Telluride Horror Show, October 14-16.
