Last week the Denver Post reported that Bobby Kennedy III received incentives worth $300,000 from Colorado’s Economic Development commission for his new feature film called Freak Power, about Hunter S. Thompson’s unsuccessful run for Sheriff of Pitkin County in 1970. Most of the film will be shot around Aspen but since the Hotel Jerome has changed so much since then, Kennedy’s team is scouting for other locations, according to the Durango Herald. In Durango, the Diamond Belle Saloon, the General Palmer Hotel and the Strater Hotel are being considered, along with the Grand Imperial Hotel in Silverton and the New Sheridan Hotel in Telluride. The relatively low-budget film is expected to begin filming in June with significant economic impacts for the region.
