We sit down with director Costa Karalis and producer Evan Barber to dive deep into their genre-blurring ‘Frogtown,’ Best Florida Feature winner at the 2026 Florida Film Festival.

Shot on location in Marianna, Florida, Frogtown is an exploration of three generations of women, a legendary “Frog King,” and the delicate line between childhood wonder and adult skepticism. Listen to find out why North Florida’s unique landscape is the perfect setting for a story about what we choose to believe in.

About the Film:

Frogtown (2026) is a slice-of-life portrait of a community proudly defined by its “5,000 dreamers.” Following a world premiere at the Florida Film Festival, this 86-minute feature balances wholesome absurdity with a quiet undercurrent of melancholy, delivering a heartfelt meditation on the enduring necessity of imagination.
