Wow! For the first time ever, our own Boulder International Film Festival field reporters took to the field and captured a vast array of images and information. This will give you a strong and true sense of what the BIFF experience is about.

Look for images and more as the day progresses. Here's a gallery from acclaimed, long-time regional photojournalist Zak Wood -- great stuff!:
