TAMPA FILM SCAM ALERT 03/05/09 - Tampa Film Networking Allegedly A Pitch To Sell Workshops

State Of The Tampa Indie Film Scene 03/05/09 - Currently, there is no professional Tampa indie film community in the Tampa indie film scene. The main Tampa indie film clique has lost dominance, and many of the unprofessional operations have ended, due in large part to the successful interference by Tampa Bay Film and our allies. There are very few professional Tampa filmmakers in the Tampa indie film scene, and most of the filmmakers are insecure amateurs who form cliques, and who cannot tolerate criticism. Currently, many of the Tampa filmmakers cannot be trusted, as they will slander perceived competition, in an attempt to undermine their credibility, and steal whatever they can from them. Tampa Bay Film recommends that you get to know who you are dealing with before you work with them, and that you check references who are unrelated to the filmmaker (i.e. References who are not close to, or who are not affiliated with, them). Use caution with everyone in the Tampa indie film scene, and use our Tampa Indie Film Risk Analysis system to aid you in determining if they are legitimate professionals before you consider working with them, or collaborating with them. Remember: It is much easier to steal from someone or to undermine their professional credibility if you work closely with them, and you are who you associate with. Tampa Bay Film, at this time, cannot recommend any organized Tampa film networking efforts, as the ones that we see are set up to exploit their members and to sell them services that they do not need under the guise of "networking".

Tampa Bay Film site template and site directories refreshed on 10/07/09. 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!
