We spent an unforgettable evening with the iconic Christina Ricci!  Hosted by the Enzian Theater as part of the Florida Film Festival, the night was filled with nostalgia, inspiration, and incredible insights into the world of filmmaking.

The event began with a screening of one of my favorite childhood films, Now and Then. This heartfelt coming-of-age story has always held a special place in my heart. Watching it again brought back all the warm and fuzzy nostalgic feelings, reminding me of the timeless beauty of friendship and growing up.

After the film, Christina Ricci took the stage to share her journey in the film industry. She spoke about her iconic roles, her experiences on set, and the fascinating process of bringing stories to life. Her insights into the magic of moviemaking were both enlightening and inspiring. Christina’s cool and down-to-earth personality shone through as she spoke, making the audience feel connected to her in a special way.

During the Q&A session, my mom Sandy asked what she likes to do for fun. Her answer gave us a glimpse into her personal life: she loves gardening, bird watching, and spending quality time with her family. It was wonderful to see a different side of her—one that’s just as relatable and genuine as her on-screen characters.

As a fan of her work, I couldn’t help but think of another favorite film of mine, Anything Else. It’s definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it yet. Christina’s versatility and talent as an actress continue to amaze me.

This evening was truly a night to remember. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to relive cherished memories, gain new perspectives, and celebrate the incredible artistry of Christina Ricci.

Here’s to more nights filled with the magic of cinema! ✨
