Can't go to the beach? Let the beach come to you with some Florida-centric television.

Done watching Tiger King? Film Florida is setting up a series of social distance watch parties to help Floridians pass the time while much of the state is shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Film Florida is the non-profit group that promotes film in the state. While Florida doesn’t have the robust film incentives like some other states, it’s a hotspot for destination filming thanks to its pristine beaches and expansive waterfront.

The Sunshine State Social Distance Watch Party! will feature three volumes and include Florida-produced films and television series to watch throughout the week.

Film Florida released its first series Friday and will release lists again next Friday and the Friday after.

The first series includes classics like Apollo 13, Cape Fear and Cocoon as well as the blockbusters like Bad Boys and Bad Boys II.

Next week’s list will include family friendly flicks to enjoy with the kids.
