WHY:
To celebrate the Official World Premiere of As You Like It – Like That! at the 40th Annual Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and South Florida’s Unique Cinematic Culture.
As You Like It – Like That! follows a struggling Cuban American actress forced to choose between her lifelong dream—directing a Shakespeare play—and a career-defining acting opportunity. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami, the film explores ambition, identity, creativity, and self-discovery through humor, heart, and music.
As You Like It – Like That! was created as a deeply personal exploration of ambition, identity, and artistic survival, inspired by writer-director Isabel Custer’s lived experience navigating multiple cultures and creative disciplines. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami, the film reflects South Florida’s multicultural energy, performance-driven arts scene, and growing independent film community. Custer, who lives and works in Miami, serves on the board of the Miami Film Lab, and founded the Key Biscayne Film Festival, crafted the film as both a love letter to the region and a statement about choosing creative purpose in a city where global cultures, music, comedy, and storytelling collide.
