Editor’s Note
This Sunday runs on deadlines. A federal film credit landed in the hopper on Thursday, a $5,000 District 9 packet is due in a sealed envelope Oct. 5–9, and Fort Lauderdale’s AI summit is selling seats for November. Eight stories, one tri-county calendar: consider it underwriting for the owners who still make payroll on Monday.
