As a firstgeneration American, Kala wouldn’t be where she is today without her Australian roots and Filipino culture. At large family gatherings, Kala’s lola (grandmother) would ask her to sing for everyone, rewarding her granddaughter with $5 following each performance. That upbringing eventually led Kala to pursue music wherever she could — singing in her high school jazz band, leading worship in church, and joining a competitive collegiate a cappella group.

U.S. Navy seaman Alondra Alsina Delgado of Winter Garden, assigned to the USS Constitution, earned her basic interpretive historian qualification and received a command ball cap. USS Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, and it played a crucial role in the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812, actively defending sea lanes from 1797 to 1855. During normal operations, active-duty sailors stationed aboard the ship provide free tours and offer public visitation to more than 600,000 people a year. The goal is to support the ship’s mission of promoting the Navy’s history and maritime heritage and raise awareness of the importance of a sustained naval presence.

The 47th annual Cleveland International Film Festival welcomed home Cleveland-born filmmaker Todd Thompson, now a Southwest Orlando resident, with a sneak peek of his much-anticipated, feature-length documentary film, Pre Fab. Based on the book of the same name by musician Colin Hanton and coauthor Colin Hall, custodian of John Lennon’s childhood home, Pre Fab is considered to be the last Beatles story about how it all began. An earlier, rough-cut version of Pre Fab sold out two screens at last year’s Florida Film Festival. It was the second time Todd and his team broke Florida Film Festival records, selling out multiple theaters for an opening night film — the first being in 2019 when screening his documentary, Woman In Motion.
