Film Shot on Florida West Coast to Be Featured at Fort Myers Beach Film Festival
FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla.--(Business Wire)--Among the films to screen at the Fort Myers Beach Film Festival is “Blind Pass,” a psychological drama/thriller starring Armand Assante. It will be shown during the Seventh Annual Fort Myers Beach Film Festival happening on Fort Myers Beach April 24-28, 2013. Screenings of several unique independent films will take place continuously over the four-day festival at Beach Theater, 6425 Estero Blvd.
Shot entirely on location in the Sarasota/Bradenton area and Ireland, it is a journey of a young, wealthy and blind woman and her psychologist (Chris McKenna) who struggles to save her from following the tragic path of a demanding father (Armand Assante). The doctor/patient relationship reveals secrets they dare not reveal lest circumstances spin out of control. “Blind Pass” is directed by Steve Tatone, written and produced by Danielle White and Steve Tatone.
