TAMPA BAY FILM SITE NETWORK UPDATES

It's all about community. It's all about support. It's all about establishing new, professional standards in Tampa filmmaking. It's about making people accountable for what they do and say. There are eight Tampa Bay Film web sites in our Tampa Bay Film site network. Each site has its own domain name, and can be directly accessed, for your convenience, directly by its individual domain name, as well as from each site. You may navigate between the Tampa Bay Film sites by using the menu on the right. Tampa Bay Film is set up this way so that we can be an easy to use resource for anyone interested in indie film, and in advancing independent filmmaking in the Tampa Bay market. We are the authority on Tampa independent film, and also work to set and maintain market standards. Essentially, all eight Tampa Bay Film sites make up one huge meta site, but each individual site in the collective has its own unique sections and content. Use the menu on the left to navigate within each site. The Tampa Bay Film sites include Tampa Bay Film, the Tampa Film Blog, the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival, the Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series, Tampa Film Festivals, Tampa Film Review, Tampa Film Conference, and Tampa Film Community. For more information on each Tampa Bay Film site network web site, please keep reading (information about this site, Tampa Bay Film, can be found below the other site descriptions. Thank you.).

All Tampa Bay Film sites are branded and marketed under Tampa Bay Film, and are directly accessible from TampaBayFilm.Com, which is the main site.

Tampa Film Blog - Where Tampa filmmakers unite! News. Opinions. Knowledge. Power. Read, Post, Promote, Debate, Inquire - It is up to you! TAMPA FILM BLOG - 08/23/10 - Can be accessed directly at TampaFilmBlog.Com. The Tampa Film Blog: Where Tampa filmmakers unite. News. Opinions. Knowledge. Power. Read, Post, Promote, Debate, Inquire - It is up to you! Have an opinion or something to say? Have, or know, some indie film news? Need to promote your latest project? Do you have an indie film announcement? The Tampa Film Blog is the first professional blog for the tampa indie film scene. We don't cheerlead, and tell it how it is. We also make a sincere effort to only support things that are good for Tampa independent film. The Tampa Film Blog is the most widely read, and respected, source of information on Tampa indie film. Our blog also contains much more information which is relevant to the advancement of Tampa indie film than other blogs (unlike so-called blogs which hype their friends and don't tell you the entire story. Do you want information on what is really going on, or do you want to read a bunch of propaganda?).

Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival - See what's playing in indie film! Tampa Bay Film's free, online film festival is always open, and playing indie films 24/7! TAMPA BAY FILM ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL - 08/23/10 - Can be accessed directly at TampaOnlineFilmFestival.Com. The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival: See what's playing in indie film! Our online film festival started out as a built-in online film festival built into the Tampa Bay Film site when we launched in January 2007. In late 2008, the online film festival was re-launched as a stand-alone web site, and had improvements which made it a second generation online film festival. The online film festival is still directly accessed from our site, as it is interlinked with our site like our other sites are. Since it launched, our online film festival has grown tremendously in popularity and influence. It now has a higher "attendance" (viewings of films from individual site visitors) than all Florida film festivals combined, and is the most effective Tampa film festival as far as promoting indie films. Although the online film festival shows indie films from all over the world in order to inspire Tampa filmmakers, our priority, and focus, is on Tampa indie films.

The Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series is the main Tampa film festival for Tampa Bay Film and Eventi Stage. The Tampa Film Showcase will tie into every Tampa Bay Film film festival property. TAMPA FILM SHOWCASE - 08/07/10 - Our main film festival site can be accessed directly at TampaFilmShowcase.Com. The Tampa Film Showcase: Watch. Network. Work Together. Our Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series has been in the works since 2007, and it is our most important film festival property, serving as a backbone for our other film festivals, and a tie-in with all of our other film festivals. The Tampa Film Showcase is currently scheduled to debut in January, 2012, which at the time of this writing is 23 months away. Why the almost-5 year development time? Because support infrastructure needs to be in place to support a film festival event which needs to be effective, uphold a standard, and be consistent each and every month. Sure, a one-off, or once a year film festival can be quickly put together. Not this one. We have a lot of details to get right, and a lot of work to make sure that it starts off strong, and keeps going strong. This is a professional event series with high standards, and it is a monthly film festival which will be so effective, that it will give the largest annual film festivals a run for their money! Unlike some large annual film festivals, the Tampa Film Showcase is one which gives priority to Tampa indie film and advancing filmmaking in Tampa. We are not about advertising the Tampa Bay market as a location to be used by outside production companies; outside production companies which would compete with Tampa filmmakers and make it hard to do films in Tampa Bay. The Tampa Film Showcase also leads into a large Tampa film festival which will tie directly into it. Another thing: The Tampa Film Showcase is not another Tampa Film Review (TFR) monthly film festival. The Tampa Film Showcase is an effective film festival and networking event which supports Tampa indie film and does not show amateur films that would only bore the audience and make the Tampa filmmaking scene look bad. Our film festivals are the new standard, and they are going to be be very effective in promoting, and advancing, Tampa filmmaking!
Due to some trade secrets that we do not wish to reveal, many aspects, and information, about the Tampa Film Showcase will not be available on the site until after it debuts. The site is currently in a beta stage, and is intentionally missing a lot of features. The site is not completely operational, as we do not wish for unethical film festival organizers to steal our ideas and dilute the impact that this film festival, and our other film festivals, will have on the Tampa Bay market. The Tampa Film Showcase, upon its debut, will be one of the most advanced, and professionally polished, film festivals in the world when it debuts. The Tampa indie film market will have some of the best film festivals in the world, and it is our agenda to help establish Tampa filmmaking as one of the best, and most innovative, independent film markets in the United States. Are we talking about a revolution in not just Tampa indie film, but independent film as a whole? We just might be! We're excited about what is coming, and so should you!

Tampa Film Festival is a marketing and resource web site for Tampa film festivals. This is the official marketing web site for all convential film festival and underground film festival properties of Tampa Bay Film. This site is also a resource for other Tampa film festival, referencing film festival coverage, reviews, playlists, and more. Tampa Bay Film is the authority on Tampa film festivals, and we make them accountable. TAMPA FILM FESTIVALS - 08/23/10 - Can be accessed directly at TampaFilmFestivals.Com. This Tampa Bay Film site is a marketing site for the five main Tampa Bay Film film festival properties (although the Tampa Film Showcase has its own stand-alone web site, and domain name), additional film festivals which were are associated with, and numerous underground film festivals. The Tampa Film Festivals site also serves as a directory, resource, and a means of coverage for other film festivals. Each of our film festival properties with a web site hosted on Tampa Film Festivals will have a true stand-alone web site installed within a hosting directory, and those sites would not share the web site design template of the Tampa Film Festivals site; each film festival would have its own web site, but not a domain name, and all would be
marketed using TampaFilmFestivals.Com.
Starting in 2011, Tampa Bay Film teams will aggressively, and comprehensively, cover Tampa film festivals and every Tampa film event which we can. Tampa film festival coverage will be published on TampaFilmFestivals.Com, and these will reference the related film festival reviews published on Tampa Film Review. We will publish content on the most relevant Tampa Bay Film site, and will reference supporting content on our other sites. Film festival coverage and reviews, effective immediately, will be published separately on relevant sites, but conducted by assigned members of the attending Tampa Bay Film team for the most comprehensive coverage available anywhere. Our teams will also cover our own film festivals, including the underground film festivals (the tiny underground film festivals will be covered,and will be just as relevant, as the large film festivals. These underground film festivals are important, and may serve as a viral lead-in to out more conventional film festivals).

Tampa Film Review is a massive review web site for Tampa Bay Film, with reviews of Tampa filmmakers, Tampa indie films, Tampa film festivals, Tampa film events, Tampa talent, independent film, the Tampa indie film scene, and much more. This site is also home for the most comprehensive guide and reviews on The Tampa Film Review, a monthly film festival series which ran in Ybor City for five years and ended in January 2009. TAMPA FILM REVIEW - 08/07/10 - Can be accessed directly at TampaFilmReview.Com. This is the general review site for Tampa Bay Film, with all of our reviews published there, including reviews for Tampa film festivals, indie films, filmmakers, production companies, film events, and more. Interviews and normal coverage would be published on Tampa Bay Film, although all content would reference supporting content published on relevant Tampa Bay Film sites. The Tampa Bay Film Tampa Film Review site features a large, comprehensive guide, with supporting reviews, for the five year run of The Tampa Film Review, or TFR, monthly film festival, which came to an end in January 2009. Currently, as of February 27, 2010, we have two TFR reviews published. Four more are on the way, and they will be published on Tampa Film Review, for a total of six TFR reviews, making Tampa Bay Film the authority on the history, and the effectiveness, of this monthly film festival series.

The Tampa Film Conference is an event for professional indie filmmakers, and will support that Tampa indie film community. TAMPA FILM CONFERENCE - 08/07/10 - Can be accessed directly at TampaFilmConference.Com. This indie film industry event series is still a way off, and probably won't debut until sometime in 2013. Since it supports a professional Tampa indie film community, which has not been established yet, this probably won't happen until after a true film community in the Tampa Bay market emerges. C. A. Passinault has designed the Tampa Film Conference, and already has all of the details down, but it will be a long time before any of those details are revealed. Like most other properties which incorporate trade secrets, some details about the Tampa Film Conference will be secret even after the event debuts. The Tampa Film Conference is more classified than our film festival properties, as it addresses the Tampa indie film business. Check the Tampa Film Conference site for the information that we are allowed to give at this point- which is not much.

The Tampa Film Community Tampa Bay Film site is for the upcoming Tampa indie film community, which has not formed yet. The Tampa Bay Film sites message board will be hosted on the Tampa Film Community site. TAMPA FILM COMMUNITY - 08/07/10 - Can be accessed directly at TampaFilmCommunity.Com. Tampa Bay currently has a thriving, although dysfunctional, independent film scene, but we don't have an established Tampa film community yet. Sure, it's been claimed that one exists, but actions, not words, are the only ways to measure whether or not that claim is true. It's not a community when a Tampa indie film clique masquerades as one in order to discredit perceived competition, discriminate, slander people who try to get involved, steal from other filmmakers, and generally try to sabotage each other. No wonder there is so much mistrust! Tampa Bay Film, by bringing professional accountability to the Tampa indie film scene, will do its part to help take out the trash. We look forward to the day when professional filmmakers band together to form the first Tampa film community, and when it happens, our Tampa Film Community site will be there to support it. Until then, we'll use the site to address the issues in the Tampa indie film scene which undermine progress and the formation of that film community.

WELCOME TO TAMPA BAY FILM, THE VOICE OF TAMPA INDIE FILM

Welcome to the Tampa Bay Film site, a free resource site for filmmakers and the upcoming Tampa film community. Tampa Bay Film is the voice of Tampa indie film, and we are heard, and listened to, as the authority on Tampa indie film. 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. We are also planning film festival events in the Tampa Bay area. These advanced film festivals will be planned, staffed, and executed by film festival partner Eventi Stage!
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 indie 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 scene stronger and more marketable by helping each individual professional and organization who is involved in it.
Welcome to the new standard of indie 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.

TAMPA BAY FILM UPDATES

08/07/10 - Tampa Bay Film site index refreshed. Design layout centered, and supporting code upgraded.

Tampa Bay Film site template and site directories refreshed on 03/12/10 - Outdated meta tags adjusted.... special thanks and the associated names of people removed.

Tampa Bay Film site template and site directories refreshed on 02/23/10.

Tampa Bay Film site template and site directories refreshed on 11/09/09. Chris Woods power!

This Tampa indie film resource web site is dedicated to Tampa filmmaker Chris Woods, who is, in our opinion, the most talented and skilled Tampa filmmaker. His short indie film, Spaventare, filmed in Tampa Bay in early 2009, is a new benchmark for Tampa filmmaking; expect a lot of Tampa indie films in the future to follow the example set by this groundbreaking film. Not only is Spaventare, in our opinion, the best short Tampa indie film ever made, it proves that great films can be made on small budgets. Spaventare was done for less than $30.00, with a crew of three and a cast of two. Check it out on our online film festival by clicking on the link in this paragraph!
