Michelle Koesten has been a lover of film of all genres from the time she was old enough to fit in the seat at the movie theater! It has been her favorite pastime as long as she can remember and she now runs two Movie Meetup Groups including South Florida Movies and the Palm Beach Movie Club. As avid film watchers, her groups have thrown an annual Oscar Party the last few years to celebrate along with the stars. As a relative of the creator of Superman, she likes to believe creativity is in the blood and will one day write her own character into a script!
