Bright lights, big city! SoFlo always shines bright. But it sparkles even more when Hollywood stars roll into town for the Miami Film Festival. Here\u2019s a look back at the best of the fest!<\/p>\n
Fest assured. The 43rd edition of the Miami Film Festival was a star-studded success!<\/p>\n
And one thing\u2019s for sure. Hollywood\u2019s finest have mad love for the 305.<\/p>\n
Bob Odenkirk: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be in Miami with \u2018Normal.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Matt Bomer: \u201cWe love Miami. This city has been so, so good to me over the years. And I\u2019ve been coming to South Florida since I was a little kid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cary Elwes: \u201cMy father came here in 1958 when he was broke with my mother when he eloped with her, so it has very sentimental value to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle Brooks: \u201cI\u2019m a southern girl. I was married in Miami. So this place is very close to my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year, the fest brought 160 films from 45 countries to the Magic City. Including\u2026<\/p>\n
Bob Odenkirk\u2019s new action thriller, \u201cNormal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bob Odenkirk: \u201cIt really is kind of an old-style film that really needs to be seen in a theater.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor tells Deco he\u2019s excited to be playing a different kind of hero.<\/p>\n
Bob Odenkirk: \u201cUlysses is my age, which is great. I\u2019ve always been playing guys who are 20 years younger than me, which is weird. So I get to play somebody who\u2019s lived a lot of life. I love playing guys who get their asses kicked. I think that\u2019s where I should be in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle Brooks also stopped by the Magic City. She was in town with the family drama, \u201cIf I go, will they miss me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle Brooks: \u201cWhat I love about it is that it is very honest. People are trying to figure out life. They\u2019re trying to figure out how to be parents. I\u2019m a parent. I\u2019m trying to figure it out. And sometimes people are hit with harder circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danielle says she hopes it inspires audiences.<\/p>\n
Danielle Brooks: \u201cMaybe this isn\u2019t where I need to be, maybe this is not who I\u2019m supposed to be with, maybe whatever that maybe is for you, I hope that you can find that in this film. Find your freedom in letting go of whatever you need to let go of. \u201c<\/p>\n
