TAMPA BAY FILM OPINION:
This
began as an Internet hoax that was supposed to be fodder for a television
/ film pitch and then marked the beginning of a new entertainment medium
once the truth was exposed and the creators realized that the series
was pulling in large numbers of regular viewers. This series would not
be as popular as it is if not for the hoax factor. Although the format
is not new (Tampa Bay entertainment and professional polymath C. A.
Passinault had a documented outline for such a format for use on public
access television back in 1993), the application to the Internet and
its advantages is, and may indicate the beginning of a potential revolution
in filmmaking concepts and the definition of what a film is and could
be. Actress Jessica Rose is absolutely brilliant as the teenage Bree,
and we haven't seen a character this likeable ever (although Jessica
does remind us an awful lot of web actress / model Kristen Serena and
professional actress / model Roxanne Kowalska if they were combined,
and she looks and acts almost exactly like Kristen did back in 1998-2000).
The story can be a bit confusing, and some of the episodes can be so-so;
especially the video mail ones where the characters video blog each
other on the same account. The first few episodes are a bit rough, but
it begins to hit it's stride after the first ten- the editing is far
from what is supposed to be correct, but it works- and in the 18th episode
(Episode 0023), the jump cuts toward the end are simply brilliant. The
story gets weird as it advances, with more characters and some bizarre
cult, but it is definitely entertaining, Jessica Rose is adorable as
Bree, the entire series is very watchable with it's tiny episodes, and
it is good to the point that it could compete against and stand with
traditional films and television. This is proof that the definition
of what a film, and what entertainment can be, is generally open to
interpretation. A final note about the missing episodes is that the
producers chose to omit them and that the loose plot structure is flexible
enough to work without them. We are guessing that there were quality
issues with them, especially as many of them are from the start of the
series where the characters and the story was struggling to find itself.
This series is simply inspiring, and we are anxious to see what else
will evolve from it with other production efforts. While you would not
find anything like this in a current conventional film festival event,
our online film festival was perfect to showcase it, and we would much
rather watch this than many Tampa produced indy "films", as
this has high entertainment value. When it works, it is brilliant, and
it is a glimpse of the future of indy filmmaking and showing films;
some filmmakers and critics in the Tampa Bay area appear to be confused
as to the merits of this series and why we are showing it on our online
film festival, but this may indicate that there may be limits to the
potential and what the future may hold for the perceived players in
the market today.

SYNOPSIS:
19
Year old Actress Jessica Rose plays Bree, a 16-17 year
old girl with select few friends, a menagerie of stuffed animals, and
some interesting life issues in this video blog series that began as
an Internet hoax. The plot is loose due to the video blog expositional
structure, and what began as a teen drama/ comedy is now a bizarre story
of a cult and the twists that come with it.
All of the film episodes on the Lonelygirl15 Online Film Festival channel are listed in this section, and you can see all of the episodes that we have available here. Missing episode orders are intentional by the producers and are not an issue. It is our intention to make viewing the Lonelygirl15 series on our Online Film Festival the best way to view the episodes, although this is with the loss of the interactive elements (although you would have to be on the current and latest episode to interact with the writers).

TAMPA BAY FILM UPDATES
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!
