The Fort Myers Film Festival runs from March 8 through March
12. Known for its world-class swagger and support of local filmmakers, the Fort
Myers Film Festival consistently attracts a vibrant, intellectual and edgy
crowd to its events. Now in its seventh years, the FMff has evolved into a
can’t-miss, must- attend extravaganza for the hundreds of cineastes living in
Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties who love independent films, revel in
groundbreaking documentaries and consider themselves connoisseurs of
high-quality, top-notch film festivals. And I am proud to be a Fort Myers Film
Festival sponsor.
I have long admired that Eric brings to Fort Myers. As
someone who’s promoted tourism in Lee County and all of Southwest Florida for
many years, I appreciate the effort that Eric makes to put Fort Myers on the
indie filmmaking map. Not only does he attract scores of movie lovers to Fort
Myers for the film festival, he brings in hundreds of nationally and
internationally-acclaimed filmmakers, cinematographers, actors and extras who
might not otherwise have occasion to visit our community. And it’s more than
just name recognition. By exposing our own accomplished and aspiring directors,
producers, cinematographers, videographers, actors and more to the influence of
these filmmakers, Eric is encouraging and inspiring untold numbers of local
people to develop their own skills and talents in the art of movie-making.
So thanks for all you do,
Eric Raddatz. And here’s to the 7th Annual Fort Myers Film Festival!
