We’re committed to supporting filmmakers’ creative process and creating opportunities for this community to grow. All that is on top of our continuing partnership with the Community Justice Project and our staple Cinematic Arts Residency, which awards $50,000 to filmmakers to make their first micro-budget feature.

In addition to our Local Love Letters open call, we’ve also been able to partner with Miami Film Festival on film commissions to eight filmmakers, totaling $120,000! We’re rolling out monthly meetups and professional development workshops for local creatives. I’m really excited about all the programs our team has been working on for the film community. What are you looking forward to this year? If you’re a filmmaker and you have an idea that has Miami Beach locations, we’d love to see your pitch! We love partnering with the City of Miami Beach and are excited to be offering incentives for filmmakers to continue making creative work using our beautiful city as the backdrop. We have an independent jury that’s going to select 10 filmmakers to receive $5,000 each to make their proposed films a reality.
It’s called Local Love Letters, and we’re asking filmmakers to pitch their ideas for 3-5 minute short films that utilize their favorite spots on Miami Beach as locations in their films. Right now, Oolite Arts has an open call for filmmakers, in collaboration with the City of Miami Beach. What’s a project you’re working on (big or small) and how can our readers help you with it?
#OOLITE RESTAURANT MIAMI MAC#
I’m obsessed w/ the Baked Mac n Cheese w/ Pikliz. If you could eat only one meal from a local restaurant for the rest of your life, what would it be? I love checking in to see the diverse wildlife living just off our shores. The underwater camera livestreams an urban coral reef just off of Miami Beach. Third Horizon is a Caribbean filmmaking collective and film festival that I love following and attending…best events ever and I love seeing films that represent all the different cultures that have made Miami their second home.Īnd lastly, the Coral City Camera. Truly one of my favorite arts organizations in Miami. What’s your favorite local Instagram or TikTok account and + + am obsessed with everything O, Miami Poetry Festival does. These are both simple experiences but they’re the ones that make me love living here more than anything. My friends and I spend hours floating in the water. I’d say either going to Legion Park Farmer’s Market on a Saturday and getting a supersonic juice from Nature Boyzjuice tent and a vegan Jamaican patty from Akete’s stand and eating them by the water, or Sunday beach hangs with friends on North Beach during magic hour. It’s impossible to choose just one outdoor experience.
What is it? What’re we doing? Who’s going with ya? Pick a favorite local outdoor experience.
That and my first date with my now-husband at the 2006 Miami Heat Championship Parade. I grew up in West-Kendall and my dad and I used to go dirt biking through the cornfields that have since become LA Fitness. I’ve lived in Miami my whole life so my entire life is made up of Miami memories.
