Tampa Film Updates
Too
much to do. I am currently up to my ears putting together Tampa photography
web sites for my Tampa photography business. I may delay my new Tampa
photographer web site, since I launched my Tampa
Headshots web site this week, until early December so I can catch
up with some things. I may take a few days to polish my array of blogs
and update my Tampa film web sites. One blog, my main C.
A. Passinault blog on Frontier
Society, will be moving to its own web site shortly. My newest blog,
the Tampa DJ Blog, recently launched,
and has been a tremendous success. It’ll tie into my DJ
Frontier web site, which will be very important next year.
My blogs? They are setting records. This Tampa Film Blog is the best-read
Tampa indie film blog in the Tampa Bay market. As a matter of fact, it
is the most widely read source of indie film in Florida. I imagine Lisa
and the Tampa indie film clique are happy about this; I wish that they
were smart enough to compete with me effectively, as competition would
be welcomed. The success of the Tampa Film Blog will not only continue,
but will increase my dominant voice in Tampa indie film. Things are the
way that they should be, and the Tampa film scene will benefit. I am holding
onto hope that we will finally see the beginning of a professional Tampa
film community soon. I will be a part of the formation and the driving
force behind the growth of the upcoming Tampa film community.
I have two new Tampa Film Blog posts in the works right now. The first
will be about indie film portfolios, and I will demonstrate a
way of selling indie films which has worked wonders with my photography
business. Such successes can be applied to Tampa indie film. The second
is about the evolved horror film. While I will go on record with
saying that I liked recent Tampa horror films such as 100 tears, that
form of horror film will soon be less significant in the genre. Do we
really need indie horror films that have weak stories, shallow characters,
and a reliance on gore and blood? Is that really engaging for the audience,
and are they really scary? Horror films that don’t horrify or frighten
the audience and amount to little more than snuff films or gore porn are
not going to advance the genre or do Tampa indie film any favors in the
fight to gain respect and credibility. Recent films such as Rick Danford
and Krista Grotte’s Alarum are brilliant films, and should serve
as examples of how to do good indie films (I’d rather watch Alarum
than 100 Tears any day, and Alarum will become a classic which will still
be watched long after horror film fans forget about 100 Tears). Such will
be the focus of the evolved horror film, and I sincerely hope that Tampa
horror film makers will take my advice and open their eyes to new ways
of making horror films. God only knows that Tampa indie film needs more
respect.
Ah, yes. I have more updates, too. Pete and Paul, don’t cry. Wipe
away those tears of frustration. The future is coming, and although it
won’t have much to do with you, it will lead to genuine respect
and support of Tampa indie film, new types of Tampa film festivals which
are actually effective and worth getting involved with, and the creation
and growth of our first Tampa indie film community! These are exciting
times, well, for those of us who deserve to benefit from those times!
The new, second-generation Tampa
Bay Film Online Film Festival, which launched last month, is about
to have a ton of updates and new indie films added to its online film
festival. It will be nice to see it grow and succeed beyond the first
version, and we’re off to an excellent start. I will be reviewing
my Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival shortly and will be publishing
the review alongside the reviews of other Tampa film festivals on Tampa
Bay Film, and, yes, I will be unbiased and objective, as always- don’t
expect a perfect score. The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival will be
competing with Tampa film festival events next year, and it will be interesting
to see what it does to the smaller Tampa film festivals such as the Tampa
Film Review.
Ah, the Tampa Film Review. My interviews are in, as are the reports from
my Tampa Film Review infiltrators. Expect a new Tampa Film Review film
festival review for 2008! This will be added to the Tampa Bay Film Tampa
film festival review database, as will be a late review for last year’s
Horror and Hotties film festival from March, 2007. In my opinion, Andy
Lalino’s Horror and Hotties film festival was the best Tampa film
festival which I have ever been to. Could there be more in this series,
or will something else evolve from the foundation which has already been
forged?
More is to come. I have to crate several hundred DVD’s now and move
them to a secure storage site.
