Jenkins obviously wasn’t around Telluride in the ’70s, but he acknowledges that he has heard that “socioeconomically, it was a bit different than it is now.

Jenkins told me that he admires the festival for enabling free access to the shorts and for its generosity to emerging artists. “And it’s crazy,” he said. “I’m saying this of the town in the middle of nowhere. It’s very difficult to get to and very expensive these days.”“It’s why I — a kid from the projects of Miami, Florida — showed up at this place, the whitest place I ever been in my life. Whitest, wealthiest place I’ve ever been to in my life, and I didn’t feel any of that. I didn’t.
Jenkins said Cronenberg responded: “Well, you have to unpack what the word ‘pretension’ means. Am I trying to do certain things? Yes, I am. Do I ever want to feel bad about that? No.” “And I walk out of the theater, which is inside a middle school gym, and there are just teenagers on the lawn just bawling their eyes out. I mean, it was just like one of the most intense things I’ve ever experienced.”Initially, though, he had no idea how he was going to do it.
