Delightful Dunedin is a cinematic love letter to one of Florida’s most charming Gulf Coast towns.
Created by realtor, photographer and filmmaker Mark Middleton, this feature-length documentary explores the history, culture, and enduring beauty of Dunedin, Florida. The film blends cinematic storytelling with fine-art photography to capture the feeling—not just the facts—of a town shaped by water, citrus, architecture, and a strong sense of community.
From orange groves and waterfront sunsets to historic streets and creative energy downtown, Delightful Dunedin celebrates what makes this coastal town feel timeless. Shot with a photographer’s eye for light, composition, and detail, the film preserves Dunedin as both a living place and a cherished memory.
At its heart, Delightful Dunedin is about place and preservation—honoring the people, history, and character that give a town its soul in an era of rapid change. It’s an invitation to slow down, look closer, and remember why some places leave a lasting imprint on us.
Giving Back to the Community
Delightful Dunedin was created not only to celebrate this special town, but to give back to it in a meaningful way.
By visiting delightfuldunedin.org, you’ll find the opportunity to give directly to three local organizations that play a vital role in Dunedin and the greater community:
Dunedin Cares — helping address food insecurity throughout Pinellas County and ensuring neighbors in need have access to essential resources.
Dunedin Fine Art Center — promoting, supporting, and preserving the fine arts that enrich our community and inspire creativity.
Dunedin History Museum — preserving and protecting the history, stories, and cultural heritage of this wonderful town.
These links do not go to Mark Middleton or to the film itself. All contributions are made directly to the organizations. This is simply our way of using Delightful Dunedin as a platform to support the people, history, and culture that make Dunedin such a special place to call home.
Every visit, every share, and every gift helps strengthen the community the film was made to honor.
