The edgy and fresh programming for the Fort Myers Film Festival has gotten the attention of a global independent film community. Last years opening night films include “Examine and report” which was the world premiere for Marcus Jansen’s documentary. The previous year “Most Likely to Succeed” provided the edge in a community that embraced the award-winning film that had only played at Sundance prior to our screening to a packed house at Barbara B. Mann. The year before that “Alive Inside,” a story about how music can significantly and most positively impact those suffering with dementia and Alzheimer’s was attended by filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett and Dan Cohen, founder of Musicandmemory.org, both from the film. It received by standing ovation, warm commendation from the Fort Myers mayor Randy Henderson and attending community. The year before “When I Walk” had, like “Alive Inside,” only played at one or two venues, including Sundance Film Festival, making the Fort Myers Film Festival heading the pack of festivals playing new and fresh films not in distribution. It too was later picked up for major distribution with stories in Time, New York Times, CNN and others picking up on the movie months after it played here in Southwest Florida.
The Fort Myers Film Festival supports Lee County Schools filmmakers and Golisano’s Children’s Hospital.

Spellbound by the boys’ enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers.
