LATEST REVIEW - THE TAMPA BAY FILM ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW 2007-2008

Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival official review by film festival expert and web designer C. A. Passinault

We are serious about Tampa indie film.
We don’t blindly follow the crowd. We think for ourselves.
We decide.
We call them as we see them.
We are leaders.
We are the voice of Tampa indie film.

Tampa Bay Film site code refresh in June. TAMPA BAY FILM - 05/09/09 - Tampa Bay Film will be completely refreshing its web site index in June, and possibly this month if we have time. We will be changing the thumbnails are the top of the page, and may be adjusting the main menu. Will the Tampa film scam section be removed from the main menu and placed in a subdirectory? With the defeat of the Tampa indie film clique and the dominance of Tampa Bay Film, it could be a possibility (note: If this happens, we can easily restore it on the main menu with a quick site code refresh. Ceasing daily pounding of rogue elements of what is left of the Tampa indie film clique does not mean that we are disarming, and we could still continue a heated cold war, since certain people who are dangerous to the Tampa indie film scene are still very much active. At any rate, we are in a cold Tampa indie film war which is projected to last for at least another two years, paving the way for the future of the Tampa indie film scene and the establishment of Tampa's first professional indie film community, which currently does not exist, and never did).

Tampa Film Blog indexed, with new blog posts. This time, Tampa Bay Film director C. A. Passinault begins what will be an annual pre-summer tradition- The "it" list. He also publishes some predictions about the future of indie film in Tampa. TAMPA FILM BLOG - 05/09/08 - Our Tampa Film Blog has been indexed, organized, and updated with many new posts. The most recent Tampa Film Blog post, by Tampa Bay Film director C. A. Passinault, starts an annual pre-summer, May tradition called the "It List". C. A. Passinault also dares to predict what the Tampa film scene will be like five years from now, which is 2014 for those who possibly have issues with numbers (Paul and Joe). Other announcements include Tampa film parody projects, work on the 2009 review of The Tampa Film Review, and some other interesting developments.

Two films on the online film festival removed. The third generation online film festival is in development! ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL BLOG - 05/09/08 - The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival Blog has been updated once again. Work is progressing on a new third generation online film festival, due this fall. The newest version will have advanced databasing features, and will automatically update by adding films as soon as they are submitted. The online film festival will also be automated, as will be the playlists and other features. The Tampa Bay Film 2009 review of the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival will pretty much cover the last three months of 2009, since we only have routine updates and film additions scheduled until then. We have big plans for our online film festival in 2010.

New online film festival blog post - New films selected for addition and new sections, including a free online film workshop, to be added. ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL BLOG - 03/13/08 - The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival Blog has been updated (this is a different blog than our Tampa Film Blog (which is also updating, by the way), and deals with work done on our online film festival as well as films added). In the next few days, we will be adding a new batch of indie films to our online film festival, will be refreshing the site index and updating the main thumbnail array, and will be adding new sections and online film festival channels. One new channel will our online film workshop, which will contain free video tutorials for aspiring, and experienced, Tampa filmmakers. This is needed to help combat and undermine dangerous Tampa film workshop scams. Forget paying for a shady Tampa film workshop which is set up to make money at your expense. The best Tampa film workshop will be online, and it will be available free of charge!

Tampa Music Festival online music festival site and Tampa Music Festival event web site begins development. Eventi Events, Eventi Stage, Dream Nine Studios, and the new Tampa Music Festival web sites update for the future of Tampa indie film. TAMPA MUSIC FESTIVAL - 12/26/08 - There has been a lot of web site work going on, with a break starting now and updates resuming immediately after the new year. For Tampa Bay Film, two new Tampa film festival reviews were added, the Horror & Hotties 2007 Tampa film festival review and the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival Review 2007-2008. Our online film festival has been updated a lot lately, and it will now take a break from updates until somewhere around the first or second week of January. Development of another online festival, based on our online film festival, has begun, and it will launch in early 2009. The Tampa Music Festival will be an online music festival as well as the web site for the Tampa Music Festival events by Eventi Stage (The Eventi Stage web site will launch soon). Original music is very important to indie film production, and the new Tampa Music Festival site will interconnect with the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival upon launch. Read more about it on the Tampa DJ Blog for now (there's even more on the Eventi Events web site, and especially in the Eventi Events news section), as there will be more soon on the Tampa Film Blog. The Tampa Music Festival will tie into the Tampa record label division of Tampa production company Dream Nine Studios (which is now primed to produce Tampa's best and most innovative indie film projects), Tampa event planning company Eventi Events, Tampa stage production company Eventi Stage, and the production work of DJ Frontier, who owns, and posts on, the Tampa DJ Blog. Tampa Bay Film is directly affiliated with all of these parties, and we are all owned my Passinault.Com. These affiliations and cross-support should prove to be very interesting in 2009.

Tampa Bay Film web site directories updated and refreshed - new updates and site upgrades added. TAMPA BAY FILM - 12/12/08 - Tampa Bay Film has obtained upgrades, and our web site directories have been The Tampa indie film war is ongoing, and we're winning as we make progress and fight for the rights of Tampa indie film professionals in Tampa indie film scene. In 2009, we will aggressively increase efforts to identify, undermine, and disrupt Tampa indie film scams, and we wil help make it very difficult for Tampa indie film scams to operate in the Tampa indie film scene. refreshed on the server. Updates include a new button on our main menu leading directly to the Tampa Film Blog, support work for the Tampa indie film scam analysis database now being built, and enhancements to support and integrate this site with the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival. The Tampa Film Blog is now the most widely read source on Tampa indie film, and in two months our Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival has over 5,000 unique visitors a day, with web traffic totaling over 60,000 hits a day. The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival site has even passed all Tampa film festival web sites in search engine rankings and search engine results, not to mention word-of-mouth. Both the Tampa Film Blog and the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival have far exceeded our expectations, with the Tampa Film Blog amplifying our influence as the voice of Tampa indie film, and the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival now more effective as an indie film promotion and marketing tool than all of the Tampa film festivals combined; the advantages of having a film festival which is always open and available from anywhere there is an Internet connection. This is just the beginning, and we are positioning the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival to compete with Tampa film festival events in 2009. By the time our Tampa Film Showcase Tampa film festival event and professional networking series debuts, there may not be much for it to do with other Tampa film festivals but to clean up what is left of them.

The Tampa Bay Film Tampa indie film scam analysis database will address Tampa indie film scams and help Tampa film professionals combat them by exposing, disrupting, and undermining them. It is a third-generation scam database and scam-fighting resource based on the technology developed by Florida Modeling Career and Independent Modeling. Tampa Bay Film will address the indie film scams relevant to indie film professionals, but out indie film scam database and indie film scam-fighting resource will tie directly into the scam fighting resources at Tampa Bay Acting and Independent Acting. The key to defeating Tampa indie film scams will be to educate actors and talent to recognize, and to deal with them. It is the goal of Tampa Bay Film, Tampa Bay Acting, and Independent Acting to cut off Tampa indie film scams from the actors and talent who are often victimized by them. We come for war, and it's going to take years. We're prepared to see it through.

The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival has been upgraded, with 14 new films added. We also updated last years review for the Halloween Horror Picture Show 2007! TAMPA ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL - 11/25/08 - We upgraded and updated our Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival two days ago, on 11/23/08. We added 14 new films, and even more are pending now (we are preparing to add some controversial films, many of them with hard "R" rated content). We also updated last years Halloween Horror Picture Show 2007 review with film reviews from Tampa writer Jeff Strand! Thank you, Jeff, for your excellent contribution; you made a good Tampa film festival review even better!

Tampa Film Festival Scores Database on Tampa Bay Film - See if it's worth checking out! TAMPA FILM FESTIVAL SCORES - 11/01/08 - Here we go! At a glance, here are the scores, along with the relevant links to the full reviews of the film festival, if the review exists, to every Tampa film festival that Tampa Bay Film has reviewed. It is our intention to keep score rosters of every Tampa film festival possible from now on, and the stats will continue to grow. Who will rise to the challenge and hang at the top as one of the best, or the best, Tampa film festival? The competition increases, and continues. We can't wait to review the Gasparilla Film Festival in a few months and see where they fit in with all of this! We will be adding indie film reviews and other types of reviews, with appropriate stat categories, to a central database soon. Is the Tampa film festival worth going to? Is that Tampa indie film worth watching? Is that film blog worth reading? Is that online publication worth following? We are here to help answer those questions with comprehensive scores, guides, reviews, and articles. We are also here to inspire those in the Tampa indie film scene to improve what they do.

Halloween Horror Picture Show 2008 Tampa Bay Film Review by C. A. Passinault/ HALLOWEEN HORROR PICTURE SHOW 2008 - 10/31/08 - The official Halloween Horror Picture Show 2008 Tampa Bay Film review, by C. A. Passinault, is now up. Included in this year's coverage is a mini-review of the feature indie film, Live Evil!

The new Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is now online! Our second-generation online film fetival launched yesterday! TAMPA ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL LAUNCHED! - 10/11/08 - As you can see, the staff here at Tampa Bay Film hasPhotograph picture of Tampa Bay actress Krista Grotte photographed by Tampa Bay photography and design company Aurora PhotoArts. Photograph by photographer C. A. Passinault. Tampa Bay Film official photograph production still selection. been a bit busy the past week. Yesterday, it finally happened. Our new second-generation online film festival launched as a stand-alone web site, and our first-generation online film festival built into the Tampa Bay Film site directories was finally retired and will now be maintained as an archive (we don't want to give the search engines any bad links, you see, so those old files have to stay up). Menu links and online film festival links on the Tampa Bay Film, the Tampa Film Showcase, and the Tampa Film Blog sites were redirected to the new Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival site, instantly giving the new site the flood of Internet traffic that we all enjoy. This new online film festival should be far more successful than the old one, which was a hit and has dominated the Tampa film festival market, both online and event-based, for over a year now. In the wait between now and the launch of the Tampa film Showcase Tampa film festival and professional networking event series, we are expecting the new second-generation online film festival to exceed the success of the first one, and our online film festival is on track to competing with the Tampa film festival events. Being able to compete with event-based Tampa film festivals with an online film festival and no current film festival event of our own is impressive, and it will really get interesting when our Tampa film festival event series, the Tampa Film Showcase, finally debuts. Som how does all this tie together? We can't say yet, as it is a secret, but we can say that we are working hard and that we are taking our time setting up the foundation and support infrastructure for what is to come.
It's about time, too, because a lot of us are tired with the substandard, sleazy practices we've had to endure in the Tampa indie film scene. We cannot wait for the day that there will be a professional Tampa indie film community, and it is one of our goals to help establish and build one. We are investing a lot of time, money, and resources into this.
Five years from now, things will be different. Things will be better. Tampa filmmakers will be respected for the films that they make instead of being used as pawns in the schemes of others to attract their competition to Tampa Bay so it can be used as a production location instead of supporting the efforts of local filmmakers. The Tampa indie film workshops where aspiring filmmakers learn the bad habits of failed filmmakers will take a back seat, too.
You probably noticed that the Tampa Bay Film web site obtained an overhaul today, too. This was needed to correct some old design flaws and to enable Tampa Bay Film to keep up with and blend in with the high design standards of our new second-generation online film festival site. We're looking good, although our new picture / image templates are a bit over-designed. We will have that corrected sometime tonight, so don't get used to the new picture format that you now see.
Expect an overhaul of the Tampa Film Showcase site shortly, too, although we're not in too much of a hurry to do that right now. The film festival still does not have a venue, and the web site won't need to be updated much until the Tampa film festival events. We're sure that aspiring competitors are studying the site to learn as many of our ideas as they can right now, too. Good luck. The main M.O. and our great ideas are not up there yet. Wouldn't we be shooting ourselves in the feet if we published some of the revolutionary ideas before we were in the position to utilize them and work with them ourselves?
No fluff here. No smoke. What we are sitting on is a true revolution, and what we are working on with change everything. Not only will we revolutionize the Tampa indie film market, but the ideas that we introduce and work with will change the way indie films are done and worked everywhere else in the world, too.
For now, our foundation settles and our support infrastructure grows. A revolution is coming. Indie film will never be the same again.

The new Tampa Bay Film Tampa Online Film Festival is almost finished and will launch in a few days. It replaces our original online film festival. TAMPA ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL - 09/27/08 - Excelsior! Design work on our new Tampa Online Film Festival is complete, and work is coming along nicely. We finally got to see the actual site on our studio workstation this morning, and it is even better than we expected. A Raptor 3 class site like this one, the design is much better and the site format is much more refined. Expect a major makeover of Tampa Bay Film soon after the launch of our Tampa Online Film Festival so we can keep up with our better-looking offspring (Yes, this is what Tampa Bay Film should have looked like back when we launched- the new site makes ours look old and outdated by comparison, and highlights our design flaws, as you will soon see). Since we haven't added any films to the old online film festival on Tampa Bay Film this year, we have quite a long list of indie films to add to the new one. The site should be running in a Beta version by tomorrow (although it won't be online yet), and should launch on October 1, 2008, with at least twenty films online and over one hundred indie films playing online 24/7 by the end of the year. Our first online film festival, which is here on the Tampa Bay Film site and launched with it on January 11, 2007, was incredibly successful, putting a competing online film festival out of business and giving Tampa film festivals a run for their money. Our new Tampa Online Film Festival will be a stand-alone web site interconnected with Tampa Bay Film. It is our second generation online film festival with the latest technology, and incorporating the refined ideas of what we learned from operating the first one. Speaking of the first one, it will be maintained as an archive on Tampa Bay film, as we have too much search engine traffic going to it and need to keep the old directories active. By default, all online film festival links in the old online film festival and throughout Tampa Bay Film will route to the new site, and visitors will be able to toggle between Tampa Bay Film and our new Tampa Online Film Festival site with the click of a button (since we have to do a full code refresh to update the menu, we might as well overhaul the design of our entire site at the same time, as it won't take long to do). In 2009, the new Tampa Bay Film Tampa Online Film Festival will be important for reasons that we cannot yet disclose, and we expect it to become the most effective online film festival in Florida, outdoing most film festival events. Everything is proceeding as we have planned and envisioned.

Tampa Bay Film official photograph production still selection. The Tampa Film Blog of Tampa Bay Film, by indie film expert and Tampa Bay Film director C. A. Passinault, exposes the real deal with the Tampa indie film scene!  Check out the most popular and most widely read Tampa indie film blog! TAMPA FILM BLOG - Our Tampa Film Blog is the most popular indie film related blog in the Tampa Bay Market, and Tampa Bay Film site director C. A. Passinault tells it how it really is. The most recent posts address the Tampa indie film clique masquerading as a Tampa film community, amateur filmmakers stealing from Tampa indie film professionals, unprofessional and unethical practices in the Tampa indie film scene, crazed fan bloggers who support hate and discrimination, Tampa film networking events which are actually attempts to sell Tampa indie film workshops, low-rent, over-hyped Tampa film festivals, Tampa film festivals set up to market Tampa as a film production location at the expense of Tampa filmmakers, and more! If you don't like it, then you must be doing something wrong....

Will you check out the Tampa Film Review? THE TAMPA FILM REVIEW - We love the Tampa Film Review! Really, we do! Don't take our word for it, though, you need to check it out for yourself. It's going on tonight in lovely Ybor city, so you really must go if you have nothing else going on. Let us know what you think about the Tampa Film Review, too. Since they moved, we may have to do another review of this exciting monthly film festival! We'd be there, but we are stuck in the studio working on our upgraded, stand-alone Tampa Online Film Festival web site. The new site will be interconnected with Tampa Bay Film once it debuts!

Tampa Bay Film and Tampa advertising agency Eos MediaArts are getting ready for the Fall 2008 season! Tomorrow, we will be working on the new Tampa Online Film Festival web site, which will upgrade, overhaul, and replace our on-site Tampa Bay Film online film  festival! TAMPA ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL - It's time. Tampa Bay Modeling has been doing a lot of work lately and has been distracting our web team from working on our site. They are updated, with most updates now emphasizing the modeling job and talent audition job boards of Tampa Bay Modeling, Tampa Bay Acting, Tampa Bay Photographers, Florida Modeling Career, Independent Modeling, Independent Acting, and the Independent Talent Network. Tomorrow, August 6, we will be working on our brand new Tampa Online Film Festival, which will be a stand-alone web site interconnected with Tampa Bay film, and will replace our current on-site online film festival (the main reason that we have not added any new films in a while- but we have quite a list ready to be uploaded). Ah, yes, and our Tampa Film Scam database should be up, soon, too, along with new content ( the Tampa Film Showcase is still in the works, too). By the way, is anyone laughing at the Tampa film cafe web site, which seems to be a feeble attempt to compete with us? We have found it to be quite amusing, and see it as the Tampa Indie Film Cliques latest attempt to counter the official voice of Tampa indie film- please note that we are going to be very careful about posting ideas on our sites from now on, as these ideas tend to find their way to others under questionable circumstances. Were we up to the challenge? We were, and still are! We wish these aspiring-competitors luck!

In a few short months, everything will become clear, and they will know that it is time, once again, to retreat and return to the drawing boards!

Tampa Bay Film association clarification. TAMPA BAY FILM - Our Tampa indie film scam analysis database will be reformatted following the launch of the enhanced modeling Tampa filmmaker Andy Lalino. Photograph picture photographed by Tampa Bay photography and design company Aurora PhotoArts. Photograph by photographer C. A. Passinault. Tampa Bay Film official photograph production still selection. scam analysis database on the upcoming Florida Modeling Career web site (a Florida-regional version of sister site Tampa Bay Modeling; Tampa Bay Modeling has seen a lot of media coverage lately with television news stories on the web site and their models showing up on television programs). We would also like to take the time now to clarify some details of association which may come up. Tampa Bay Film is not associated in any way with, nor do we support, Paul Guzzo, Pete Guzzo, Daniel Brienza, the so-called "Film Crew Cafe" web site, the Weekend Film crew, The Tampa Film Review, the "Tampa Bay Film Industry And Actors Network" (mistakenly called the "Tampa Bay Film And Actors Network" by one of Paul Guzzo's Tampa indie film letters, which prompted this clarification), or the Tampa Weekend Film School. There was also a Tampa film commission sponsored Tampa Bay Film Forum held in Tampa last year that we had nothing to do with at all, and we didn't even know who the participants were. We request, as a professional courtesy, that these people add disclaimers whenever they use the terms Tampa Bay Film or the word showcase when it is used to describe any Tampa film festival, as it may confuse people as well as infringe upon our properties. While we recognize potential conflicts, we do not recognize any of these people or their projects as a part of the Tampa indie film community, and this is one reason that we do not support them in any way. If it is their intention to copy what we do and use some of our marketing terms, then this is going to stop now; we strongly suggest that they use other terms and titles to describe what they do. Tampa Bay Film owns and operates the Tampa Film Showcase, which is the only monthly Tampa film festival that we endorse. The Tampa Film Showcase will be the best place for production professionals and talent to network with each other, too.

Tampa Online Film Festival web site will follow the launch of the Florida Modeling Career web site in July. New interface and upgrades in the works! TAMPA ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL - 06/28/08 - The Eos MediaArts Tampa advertising agency web team is finalizing details now (as well as working on their own official web site). At the moment, a lot of work is being done on Florida Modeling Career. Once launched in a few days, they will move on to our new online film festival, which should be online in July 2008. The new online film festival will improve upon the format already pioneered on Tampa Bay Film, and will clean up some features in the interface.

Tampa Online Film Festival launching soon, as it is almost ready! ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL Almost ready as Tampa Bay Film spins off a new web site - 06/19/08 - The Tampa Online Film Festival web site, which used to be the Online Film Festival embedded in Tampa Bay Film, is going to be a stand-alone online film festival web site. The Tampa Online Film Festival will utilize new state-of-the-art technology, and will improve upon our successful online film festival in every way. Both Tampa Bay Film and Tampa Online Film Festival will be densely interconnected in ways that will enhance the performance of both. Both sites will utilize the Tampa Film Blog, as well.

Tampa filmmaker Rick Danford. Photograph picture photographed by Tampa Bay photography and design company Aurora PhotoArts. Photograph by photographer C. A. Passinault. Tampa Bay Film official photograph production still selection. New Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is on the way as a stand-alone web site! ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL - 05/08/08 - Details are just coming in regarding what our higher-ups have in plan for the future of the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival, which will be officially called the Tampa Online Film Festival once a new web site launches. The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival, which debuted with the Tampa Bay Film site in January 2007, has been more successful than we could have ever imagined. Last year, our online film festival easily competed with and eliminated another online film festival, and its popularity and effectiveness is unmatched. What's coming up? The plan is to upgrade our online film festival and make it into a stand-alone web site which is interconnected with Tampa Bay Film. The new web site would look similar to our site, and would eventually be user-updated. They are working on databasing components where site visitors can fill out a form and add / update their films to our online film festival. The online film festival content would be generated with the database, and most of the features would become automated. We use the term "eventually" because the first version of the stand-alone site would be updated the way that it is now. The new online film festival format is needed to support some other big projects, too. Stay tuned.

Tampa Bay Film's Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and production professional talent networking event series in coming in 2008! TAMPA FILM SHOWCASE - Our upcoming monthly film festival and professional networking event, now scheduled to debut soon. The Tampa Film Showcase will work with Tampa Bay Film to set the standard in the Tampa indie film market as well as support a professional Tampa indie film community. While we do not have a venue or a schedule as of now, we can confirm that this Tampa film festival series is a sure thing, and it is our top priority. It's definitely coming.

Both festivals will link to each other, and we are planning film festival events in the Tampa Bay area which tie in with the online versions. These advanced film festivals will be planned, staffed, and executed by film festival partner Eventi Events!
While on the subject of our film festival endeavors, we will be covering other film festivals, reviewing them, and will publish tutorials and articles which will help to inspire film festival organizers in creating film festivals which are more effective.
While film festivals are about half of what this site is about, there is more. We also cover the marketing, promotion, and sales of independent film. This site is a resource for production professionals and talent who are involved with the indy film community here in Tampa Bay, and we have links to career tools, talent and professional contacts, investors, auditions, and industry jobs. We will even dare to ask the questions that need to be asked and offer solutions to professional and ethical issues that may or may not be apparent.
It is our hope that we can help make the Tampa Bay film community stronger and more marketable by helping each individual professional and organization who is involved in it.
Welcome to the new standard of indy film resources here in Tampa Bay and the driving force behind the future of independent film in the Tampa Bay market. We are your new best friend.
