Lorena Marquez of High Desert DEVO talks about the organization's mission, and how you can get involved as a coach.

They'll also host MountainFilm on Tour at the Sunflower Theatre in Cortez on April 20th, 2024 - with screenings at 3pm and 6pm. Tickets

Using the power of film, art, and ideas, Mountainfilm inspires audiences to create a better world. The Mountainfilm festival brings together a community of filmmakers and change makers, showcasing documentary films that celebrate adventure, activism, social justice, environment, and indomitable spirit. Each year after the festival, Mountainfilm On Tour hits the road, sharing the year’s most inspiring short films with communities worldwide.

All ticket sale proceeds from this event will go towards High Desert DEVO and their work to empower the youth in our community by fostering a lifelong passion for cycling, and to build confidence, compassion, and perseverance that they can carry into their lives and their interactions with their community.

LP recently moved to Mancos from Austin, Texas, where they worked as a Case Manager for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and in HOA property management where they were fortunate to learn many different styles of communication and creative thinking/problem solving. In their time away from work, they watch a ton of movies (spanning all decades, nationalities, and genres), and tries to listen to one really good album every day.
