EDUCATION CORNER: SSOF’S NEW HOME AT THE MALTZ

The Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films (SSOF) is proud to announce that the live red carpet award show will take place at a new venue for the 27th annual celebration! The Maltz Jupiter Theatre will be the new home of the showcase, a move that will further honor the legendary Burt Reynolds, who built the theater decades ago. "Burt Reynolds' legacy will forever be associated with the SSOF and it is because of the graciousness of his family that we will continue giving the Burt Reynolds scholarship, awarding that BR scholarship to a PBC high school senior who goes beyond and above the regular requirements for entry," said Michelle Hillery, PBC Deputy Film Commissioner and Executive Producer of the SSOF in a recent interview with CBS12.
