A new Colorado-made documentary celebrating the life, values, and enduring influence of community leader Adam Palmer will be shown at The Backdoor Theatre of Nederland, Colorado on Aug 13 at 7 PM. This special screening includes a post-film conversation with local leaders focused on building resilient and sustainable mountain communities.

The Casual Enormity of Adam Palmer explores the remarkable legacy of Palmer — an outdoor enthusiast, musician, family man, Eagle Town Council member, Holy Cross Energy board member, and former Eagle County Director of Sustainability. Through stories from friends, colleagues, and fellow community leaders, the film examines how one person’s everyday actions can inspire lasting change.

Moderated by Geoff Grimmer, Executive Director, The Adam Palmer Sustainability Fund
Cass Grady | Sustainability Coordinator, Town of Nederland
Jill E Dreves | Founder, Wild Bear Nature Center + Visitor Center Lead, Town of Nederland
Eryka Thorley | Board Member for the Town of Nederland, Vice Chair of Colorado Communities for Climate Action, and Sustainability Manager, Town of Erie

Produced by the Adam Palmer Sustainability Fund with Risan Media, the documentary highlights Palmer’s belief that community, innovation, and deliberate action can create meaningful solutions to challenges ranging from clean energy and housing to transportation and environmental stewardship.

Founded in 2021, the Adam Palmer Sustainability Fund honors Palmer’s legacy by supporting local projects and partnerships aimed at achieving net-zero emissions and strengthening communities through sustainability.
