The 28th annual
Sarasota Film Festival hosted in Sarasota, Florida, showcased the very best in
film, presenting a variety to include features and shorts.
Today, I
attended the feature, Fish Fry & Fellowship, which was a film about
friendship and community, directed by Paul Ratner and produced by Charles
Williams, Durand Adams, and Petra Ratner. The story’s setting is Palmetto,
Florida where the community was once segregated, but now come together every
Friday to eat fish, catch up and reminisce. The weekly fish fry is what brings
them all together resulting in lifelong reunions and friendships. A fish
fry was to precede the film's screening but one of the notable
personalities featured in the film, Manatee County football coach, civil rights
icon and WWII veteran, Eddie Shannon, passed away this week at 104 and funeral services
were held today.
The film was
enjoyable💕and the filmmakers and producers were present for a Q &
A session. The festival runs from April 10 to April 19, featuring 200 films: 47 feature
films and 39 shorts across various Sarasota venues. Ticket prices range from $20 to
$50, so if you get a chance, attend some features and support the Arts. 🎥🎬 Sarasota Film Festival | Florida's Premier Independent Film Festival | Sarasota Film Festival
