It’s that time of year again for another round of the Palm Beach Internatio­nal Film Festival.

The festival, which begins today, has its usual eclectic lineup of domestic and foreign films, features and documen- taries.

And yet, not a single one of my movie projects made the cut. Happens every year. Here are seven of my movies you won’t be seeing during the festival:

■ Title: “Get Out II” Synopsis: A dark-skinned landscaper wanders into Palm Beach after 3 on a Friday afternoon in what he thinks will be a quick visit to an estate in need of a mow-blow-and-go. But it’s a Mar-a-Lago getaway weekend for President Donald Trump.

Horror ensues as the landscaper realizes that he has entered a scary and unwelcomin­g world.

Production pitfalls: Unable to shoot the leaf-blower scene at full volume due to local ordinance.

Capsule review: I laughed, I cried, I reschedule­d my lawn service to Wednesdays through 2020. ■ Title: “WaWa Land” Synopsis: Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling dance, sing and fall in love inside a Palm Beach County convenienc­e store.

Production pitfalls: Big dance number repeatedly interrupte­d by people coming in to buy lottery tickets.

Capsule review: I laughed, I cried, I microwaved a burrito.

■ Title: “Tango and Cash Me Outside”

Synopsis: A documentar­y about Boynton Beach teenager Danielle Bregoli, as she parlays her profane appearance on “Dr. Phil” through its inevitable journey through the fetid world of reality TV, ending, as it usually does, with a slot on “Dancing With the Stars.”

Production pitfalls: Filming delayed due to restrainin­g order filed by dance judge Bruno Tonioli after slap-fight with Bregoli. Charo, who tried to break it up, received a fatter lip.

Capsule review: I laughed, I cried, I was ready to rumba.

■ Title: “Pirates of the Caribbean Voters”

Synopsis: A pair of HaitianAme­rican elected officials learn that the secret of plundering
