What would Martin Scorsese produce if he had 24 hours to make a film — including post-production? Or Jonathan Demme, or Quentin Tarantino? Maybe that’s what actor Matthew Modine, who’s worked with directors of that caliber, was wondering when he proposed to Lake Placid Film Forum Artistic Director Kathleen Carroll that she host a 24-hour filmmaking competition at the annual festival....

The bold new color painted on the exterior of Burlington College is Pacific Ocean Blue. On a hill overlooking Lake Champlain, the alternative liberal arts school with 150 students has also experienced a few recent changes within.
