On April 5, EAU Spa in Manalapan was filled to the brim with filmmakers and film lovers enjoying the beautiful night sky outside while mingling and drinking martinis by Tito's Vodka. In fact, there were 2 martini bars and a cash bar available. With a beautiful location, filmmakers from around the world and a happy atmosphere, they evening was complete.

Palm Beach International Film Festival begins

The Palm Beach International Film Festival (PBIFF) began its 19th year with a showing of "Belle" at Boca Cinemark. There was a red carpet out front before the events began and a party upstairs at Bogart's after (with another red carpet of sorts). Guests enjoyed music by The Sheffield Brothers band and a selection of vodka drinks sponsored by Tito's Vodka. Over 165 films will be shown throughout the fest, which runs through April 10, from 42 different countries and over 90 filmmakers in attendance. For more details on fest, visit www.pbifilmfest.org.
