The 23rd annual Florida Film Festival begins tonight. It’s a celebration of films, food, and music, featuring 170 independent films over its 10 days. One of the films picked for this year’s festival is called “Finding Neighbors,” a comedic drama about three sets of Los Angeles neighbors who are searching for true connection. It stars Michael O'Keefe and Catherine Dent. The story centers around Sam Tucker, a once-successful graphic novelist, skidding into a mid-life crisis amidst a creative slump.
