LOCALS PREMIERE FILMS AT FLIFF

The stars were out for the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF). Perhaps shining brightest was Palm Beach County resident Theodore Melfi, whose new film American Dreamer was chosen to open the festival. The dark comedy stars Peter Dinklage, Shirley MacLaine, Matt Dillon and Danny Glover, to name a few. Another star was featured at FLIFF, with a documentary written and directed by On the Town in The Palm Beaches’ host, Frank Licari. His film Ice, Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice, Hip Hop’s First Global Number 1 reveals secrets and truths behind Rob Van Winkle, aka Vanilla Ice. Both Vanilla Ice and Ted Melfi are well known in PBC, and were among the many celebrity presenters at last year’s Student Showcase of Films. The SSOF is the cornerstone of the education outreach initiative of the Palm Beach County Film and Television Commission.
