Fort Myers Beach International Film Festival going virtual Sept. 22 – 26

For the first time ever, aficionados of independent film can attend the Fort Myers Beach International Film Festival in the comfort of their living room Sept. 22 – 26.
Due to Corona virus safety concerns, the over 100 filmmakers who attend the festival from all points in the U.S. and globally as well as the well-being of patrons, volunteers and theater staff, organizers felt this was the best option as the show must go on.
