One thing is for sure: if you ever have a chance to go to Durango, CO, you should do it! It's an incredible town, boasting beautiful scenery, great restaurants and a wonderful people. 

The KIA team recently visited the town to attend the Durango Independent Film Festival, where we had our world premiere screening! We had three packed screenings, rode the Durango Narrow Gauge Railroad and also watched a ton of incredible and inspiring films. 

On top of all that, we were honored to win the audience award for BEST SHORT. Thank you, Durango!
