Short Film "Strange Case of Marie France" to be shown TODAY
Providence Library, Empire Street, Providence 2pm

(Providence/North Kingstown, Rhode Island, USA) A short film created by artist and local real
estate broker Vin Fraioli and co-produced by broker (and actor) Frank S. Miele will be screened
today at 2pm at the Providence Public Library, 150 Empire Street, Providence.

Entitled "The Strange Case of Marie France," the film is selected to screen for the 11th Rhode
Island International Film Festival, and has already won the coveted "Audience Award" for “best
short film” at the 10th annual Newport International Film Festival held a few weeks ago.

In addition, the film has been accepted for screening at numerous international festivals around
the United States including Palm Beach, Newport Beach, Cannes, Woods Hole, Long Island
International Film Exposition, the Killington Vermont Film Festival's Short Film Competition,
Rome Georgia, and more.

The story concerns Robert Berger, a man obsessed with creating beauty and order in his
museum-like home. When his family thwarts him at every turn, a provocative savior appears to give
him hope . . . or does she?

The film, shot in North Kingstown, RI was directed by award winning German cinematographer Till
Neumann with a cast that includes local actors Laurie Lajoie, Mari Dias, Vin Fraioli, and Frank Miele.

"Films screened at this RI Film Festival can be recommended in the short film category at the
Academy Awards," said Frank S. Miele, actor and co-producer. "We'd like everyone to show their
support by attending and voting for the film. Tickets are available at the door for $10.50."
