Clearwater Beach Shines in New Ad
Pack your sunscreen, it’s snowbird season! Toyota Quebec played with this concept in a fun new ad airing in Montreal. And what better place to film about sunscreen and snowbirds than the sugar white sand and emerald waters found on the No. 1 beach in the south! From providing intermittent traffic control to reserving parking and a whole lot more, city of Clearwater staff went above and beyond to ensure a seamless process for the production. They may have even custom-ordered that stellar sunset beauty shot at the end!

With a focus on rebranding and reaching out to a younger community, TIGLFF plans a special screening of Pride/Prom, a documentary about students who aren’t comfortable – or perhaps aren’t welcome – attending their own school’s prom as their true, authentic selves. Michael Petrella, one of the producers and part of the team at The Warhol Creative where the Prom is held, will attend and be part of an after-screening Q&A. TIGLFF runs Jan 30th-Feb 2nd at Green Light Cinema in downtown St. Pete.
