(PRESS RELEASE)_(Palm Beach County, FL – April 3, 2020) - The 25th Annual Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films (SSOF), Florida’s largest student film competition & award show, recognized top high school and college students for their talent and creativity.

“I’m delighted to congratulate this talented group of future filmmakers, writers, and graphic designers.  The competition received more eligible entries than ever before from all corners of the state,” said Michelle Hillery, Palm Beach County Deputy Film Commissioner and SSOF executive producer. 

“And with this year being a milestone, we were looking forward to an extra special red carpet and award show.  However, we were determined to not let the coronavirus pandemic ruin all the fun.  In an effort prove that the show must go on, we turned to social media to announce the results and to celebrate these hardworking students. We look forward to resuming as normal next year,” she continued.

Winners were announced online via a Facebook Watch Party. Eager students watched from the safety of their homes as their name and award was displayed in an original SSOF video presentation. Throughout the video, show host Frank Licari serenaded students with a humorous take on a Billie Eilish hit reimagined as Film Guy.

“An absence of ceremony in no way diminishes these amazing achievements!” added Licari.

Forty-eight film industry professionals from around the world had the difficult challenge of selecting finalists from 377 eligible entries in 12 categories.  More than $20,000 in scholarships and awards were presented.
