Southwest Florida Short Film Recognized at Cannes Film Festival

Filmmaker and Edison State College Professor Steve Chase’s dramatic short film ‘When You Feel Love,” was recently featured at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival’s Short Film Corner.  The film’s actors are former Edison College students and it was shot entirely in and around Fort Myers.  We’ll talk with Chase about the film and why it stands out among the thousands of short films submitted to Cannes.  We’ll also talk to Fort Myers musician Chris Ludvigsen who composed and performed music for the film.

A screening of the film will take place Friday, September 20 at 7:00 p.m. in the Rush Library Auditorium on the Fort Myers campus of Edison State College.
