One film that had audiences chuckling throughout Bermuda was the short "If There Were No Lutherans...Would There Still be Green Jello-o?". A hilarious look at a Lutheran minister's unique communications with those who drive by his church. Including the title, messages like "Hell is hotter, but it's a dry heat" brighten the days of the passerby in a small Minnesota town. "If There..." is Knutson's second film at the BIFF. Her first "Grandfather's Birthday" was a dramatic short.
