"When Derek Miner and I came up with the idea to do a film festival in the St. Petersburg area we originally thought, 'Well here's a chance for people to get a look at some good locally made films along with a few films from other parts of the country'. Then we got started with the project and the next thing you know, not only were local filmmakers submitting their projects but filmmakers from all over the world. We received close to 200 films from across the USA, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the UK, With so many quality films to choose from we were easily able to fill our schedule with truly entertaining movies...We hope you thoroughly enjoy the lineup of films for this years and we look forward to seeing you at future St. Petersburg/Clearwater Film Society events and, of course, the next SunScreen Festival." -Tony Amer
