Naples International Film Festival

Two weeks to go before the festival and I'm continually humbled by the stand out job our team has done. Our volunteer team never ceases to amaze me - not only are they eager to help us and the community be successful with this venture, but there's a general kinship among all of us - from varied age groups from 18 to 80 - who are looking to be part of something positive in SWFL, especially after the last year of bad news. I am incredibly proud of the job our Submissions team has done. The films are excellent and I think that attendees to the festival will be really surprised by the quality and the diversity that this festival offers. Lastly, we are working feverishly to finalize details on our live entertainment events at the Mercato at the "Field Of Dreams". This includea a whole children's portion of the film festival (children's movies and activities during day on 11/7). The live entertainment is free, so I hope people come in droves to experience what we have painstakingly put together. It has certainly been a roller coaster ride, and now.....I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.
