Our summer film series spotlights Tampa Bay’s presence in cinema!
Directed by Ben Affleck, Live By Night is set in prohibition-era Ybor City and follows Joe Coughlin, son of a Boston police deputy who turns to a life of organized crime. He and his crew show up in Ybor City to stake a claim in the illegal rum-running business. The film’s setting is not its only tie to the Tampa Bay area. Dennis Lehane, the original novel’s author, was a student at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg.
