Thursday, March 4, 2010 - 7:00 PM - Tampa Indie Film Log for Filmmaker C. A. Passinault
Underground Film Festival Status
I haven’t
made much progress with my indie film projects in the past three months,
because of business obligations, but things will progress quickly, soon.
I hope to have new computers and filmmaking gear sometime this spring.
The good news is that this gear is not too expensive; $2,000.00 in equipment,
and I’ll be making some of the best short films in the history of
Tampa indie film. With my photography services company, that’s only
a few shoots; I can make that in a couple of weeks with a light workload.
I plan on buying three cameras this year, will build a steadycam, and
will be investing in at least two new computers (the new studio computer
will be needed, at the very least, to convert my old DJ programs).
Regarding the underground film festivals, I plan on having four of them
this year, all private film festivals, of course, which are invitation-only.
I’ll have three Tampa Bay Film Reviews, and Halloween Drive-In 2010.
I already have the marketing material for all of them made, and am ready
to go once my schedule allows me to do them.
The official web sites for the underground film festivals will be on TampaFilmFestivals.Com.
The underground film festivals will be covered on Tampa Bay Film, and
reviewed on Tampa Film Review. The main coverage on Tampa Bay Film will
reference, and link to, both the review of the underground film festival,
and the official web site.
Future coverage of Tampa film festivals will be done like this, with a
split team covering and reviewing each film festival. The main coverage
will be published on Tampa Bay Film, and reviewed on Tampa Film Review.
With the ultra-low budget underground film festivals covered like the
conventional and major film festivals, the underground film festivals
will be the ultimate cost-effective film festival, as they will be just
as effective and any film festival out there, and also will be much cooler.
Expect the first Tampa Bay Film Review in the summer, with the second
in fall, and the third by the end of the year. The Halloween Drive-In
underground film festival, the first one originally planned for October
2009, will be held in south Tampa on October 10, 2010 (10/10/10!). The
second, upgraded version of the Halloween Drive-In, originally planned
for this year, has been pushed back until October of 2011, where it will
run around the same time as my first film festival event, the Reverence
Film Festival. The Reverence Film Festival, a horror film festival along
the lines of Horror and Hotties, Ladies of the night, and the Halloween
Horror Picture Show, will be a “new species” of film festival,
and will also serve as a lead-in for the debut of the Tampa Film Showcase
monthly film festival and professional networking event series, tentatively
scheduled for January 21, 2012.
I love it when everything is displaced a year. I would like to thank everyone
who bailed on the original Halloween Drive-In last October, which would
have been my first underground film festival (and, yes, after almost five
months, I’m still mad, and I’m still not talking to them).
AS it now stands, the first underground film festival in Tampa will be
the Tampa Bay Film Review this summer. The Tampa Bay Film Review is a
small, private film festival where a group of select indie film professionals
and talent watch, and review, indie films.
