A Welcome Change In Tampa Indie Film

Ah. These are exciting times in Tampa indie film, and I am very happy about what is going on. The Tampa indie filmThe past few months have been a blessing without the crazed film fan, Lisa, running her mouth about things which she is not at all qualified to evaluate, such as Tampa indie film. She is annoying, looking over our shoulders and generally sticking her nose where it does not belong. Speaking on behalf of myself, and of professional Tampa filmmakers and talent, who are growing weary of her endless clique ass-kissing, cheerleading, and propaganda publishing........ clique is in full retreat, and their film festival hideout is in shambles. Their last refuge, a hate site message board, is in decline, and soon their only outlet will be a self-proclaimed film blogger and twittering emails between their scattered members.
It’s a pity, however, that I now have all of the readers of a certain film blog, and they are happy that I am telling them how it really is instead of reading blogs from some lady who is endlessly blowing smoke and promoting people who, in my opinion, don’t have the interests of professional Tampa indie film in mind.
Well, she can’t go back to her propaganda. She will also have a tough time going forward against this Tampa Film Blog and my armada of search engine-dominating web sites. Her feeble fan blog also may have a lot of difficulty going up against my television interviews and media projects, too (I was on TV a lot this year).
What’s left to do? I have a suggestion: retirement.
There’s no shame in quitting. You had a good run. It’s just that, now, people are sick of all the B.S., and it is now time for professionals to step in. It’s time for me to finish what you attempted to start. You haven’t been blogging now for a few months, and let me be the first to say that you have not been missed. Would you like to read the ton of emails that I have confirming this?
In the opinion of many, my online film festival put a certain monthly film festival out of business. While I believe that the organizers put themselves out of business through general apathy and complete incompetence, many are giving me and Tampa Bay Film the credit for correcting an ongoing mistake, and pulling out the rug from beneath the feet of an obnoxious Tampa indie film clique, who are more well known for slandering professionals, than for promoting indie film. Who am I to argue?
Wow, the flawed film festival is over, and I didn’t have to do a monthly film festival of my own to put them out of business. Perhaps all it took was a popular online film festival? Declining film festival submissions, declining audiences, a loss of moral...... what do you suppose caused all of this?
Well, I know that the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival has been successful, and surprised me with explosive SHUT THE HELL UP! I certainly hope that she quits, and annoys some other industry with her kiss-ass literary babbling. She writes a bunch of boring nonsense, endlessly praising and promoting the wrong people. This has certainly helped the Tampa Film Blog take away her audience, as the readers deserve to be entertained while they learn the_truth about Tampa indie film. Now that the Tampa indie film clique is crippled, with their film festival decimated and their hate site message board in decline, there is finally hope for professional progress in Tampa indie film, and now we can look forward to the formation of the first professional Tampa indie film community!growth and tremendous success when it launched its second-generation online film festival and stand-alone web site only two months ago. It’s now in position for greater things, and will be the premier indie film and promotional platform for the Tampa indie film market in 2009. There are some truly revolutionary things on the way, and there will be creative projects showcased on the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival in 2009 that you would never see at a conventional film festival event. You know what? That’s fine, simply because it works, and helps to open Tampa indie film to the general public!
Oh, yes, and going back to me doing my own monthly Tampa film festival, that’s still in the works. Just because there won’t be competition does not mean that I am sidelining that project. It is still planned, and my team is still working on it.
It’s just that there is the possibility that it won’t show up for another year, and that’s fine because the online film festival can fill the void quite nicely in 2009. Expect the Tampa Film Showcase to debut in 2010, and I’m thinking January 2010, just in time to make the sponsors of certain overblown, bloated, overhyped film festivals question their investment. Just like the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is positioned to compete with Tampa film festivals, the Tampa Film Showcase will be positioned to make the large annual film festivals obsolete, as Tampa indie film finally transitions into a professional era with its first professional Tampa indie film community. These are truly exciting times!
That’s not to say that I won’t be producing a Tampa film festival event in 2009. We’re working on one right now for the fall, and it won’t have anything to do with the Tampa Film Showcase, although it may be used to promote it. The 2009 Tampa film festival project will be revolutionary in itself, and it will cause everyone to redefine what their expectations of a film festival are, and what a film festival can do. This will be an entirely new kind of film festival, and it will be interesting to see how other film festivals react to what it will introduce to the indie film industry. I can already see the large annual film festivals stumbling all over themselves as they try to adapt to new expectations and new film festival standards, and it amuses me.
Oh, and the participation and support of the Tampa indie film clique isn’t needed, or required. Feel free to sit back and watch. You can weep and observe from the outside looking in, and kick yourselves when you realize that you burned the bridge to the future as you acted on your prejudices and your insecurities. It’s your loss. It certainly isn’t mine.
2009 will be a time for some other cool things, too. I will return to making indie films. My Tampa indie film productionThe good guy finally wins.... Why is it that beautiful, intelligent women adore me, and the unattractive ones with insecurities and big mouths seem to be the only ones who have issues? company, Dream Nine Studios, was formed back in 1999, and hasn’t done a single film project in the ten years that it has been around. It didn’t really matter, however, because I was a filmmaker long before 1999, and my associates and I were working on other things, in the meantime, while we waited for the right time to proceed. One of the things that we were waiting for was for technology to catch up to our plans, and this has finally happened. I see myself at the same place that I was at ten years ago, when I began to tinker with web sites, and I launched my first web site, Colony Alpha. We all know how many web sites that I have today, and how successful that they are. The same thing is about to happen with indie film, and I am certain that many indie filmmakers will learn, and will benefit from, our fresh take, and revolutionary concepts, with independent film.
For me, however, I am really looking forward to my upcoming Frontier View “television” series of indie film shorts, which ties in with my DJ Frontier alter ego, my Frontier Society subculture, and a program that I produced back in 1995, which was called “Generation”. I almost have everything that I need to begin production of the series, and I am hoping to begin filming of Frontier View over the summer of 2009.
My online film festival will become very useful for the support of these projects, too, because it isn’t a secret that I designed the online film festival as a marketing and promotional platform for my indie films, and everyone can benefit from the results of that effort. It’s only fair, and I am sincere about helping Tampa indie film to grow.
Here’s to a great new year!
