At Telluride, screening a film about Jimmy Buffett, without him

Buffett’s friends came to Telluride with two movies about him. Then had to grapple with his death.

TELLURIDE, Colo. — Up until two weeks ago, Jimmy Buffett had plans to spend Labor Day weekend at the Telluride Film Festival, wandering this mountain town with his old friend and brother-in-law, acclaimed writer Tom McGuane, rollin’ with the punches, playin’ all his hunches and regaling audiences at Q&As for director Scott Ballew’s 34-minute documentary about their chaotic, glorious, drug-fueled hippie-artist group of comrades in Key West in the 1970s.
