It's no secret Denver has a love affair with film festivals, but if you're looking to pack in a ton of films into a single night, there aren't a whole lot of options. Thankfully, 38 Films is going down tonight at Casselman's. It's a collection of 38 films (duh) from 32 different directors in a variety of styles and formats.
