It’s no surprise that USA Today includes the Breckenridge Film Fest in its list of Top 20 American Film Festivals, a nod to community dedication and film industry relationships decades in the making.

It has been a busy summer in Breckenridge as we’ve been soaking up the warmer temps, and filling our longer days with hiking, biking, golf and everything in between.

But with kids heading back to school later this month, it seems there’s somewhat of an inevitable shift on the horizon in the day-to-day freedoms summertime offers.
