TAMPA BAY FILM - JULY 2008
THE VOICE OF PROFESSIONAL INDIE FILM IN TAMPA BAY. THE MOST POPULAR INDIE FILM RESOURCE AND ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL!
TAMPA BAY FILM
- 06/28/08 - Our Tampa indie
film scam analysis database will be reformatted following the launch of
the enhanced modeling 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
- 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.
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.
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 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.

Welcome to the Tampa Bay Film site,
a free resource site for the Tampa film community where we are covering
indie film in Tampa Bay! This web site includes an extensive online film
festival which is open all the time and is available to everyone free
of charge. You can now view independent films from Tampa Bay and Florida
from your computer and without spending a lot of time searching for them
online. Our continuous online film festival doesn’t stop here, however,
and continues on our ally site Independent Performer with a national online
film festival. 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.
