FORT MYERS, Fla. (March 16, 2018) — On March 23 the Edison & Ford Winter Estates and the Fort Myers Film Festival will present “Mullet and Mangroves,” on the historic Ford lawn. Gates open at 7 p.m.
The film, directed by Ilene Safron of Main Sail Video, shows Cayo Costa Island through the eyes of pioneering fishing families’ stories from their modern-day children. The documentary was a project of the Friends of Cayo Costa State Park and the Barrier Island Parks Society
“This is the Film Festival’s eighth year and we are excited to be a part of it for the first time,” said Lisa Sbuttoni, vice president of visitor & community relations.
A short film on Tom Smoot, Jr., will precede the film. Smoot is a Fort Myers resident, long-time supporter of Edison Ford and author of “The Edisons of Fort Myers: Discoveries of the Heart.” The clip highlights his contributions to the Estates and discusses his role in the acquisition of the Ford Estate in the 1980s.
