A. Passinault A Significant Gasparilla International Film Festival (GIFF) No-Show Once again, the Gasparilla International Film Festival comes to a close, with a significantly shorter film festival this year than in previous years. Did anyone go? We didn't; Tampa Bay Film is in business to support Tampa indie film, and we are the voice of Tampa indie film. Tampa Bay Film did not see a point in going, especially with all the pretentious, overpriced parties, and high ticket prices (although, in fairness, we're sure that we could have obtained press passes, although that wouldn't help people who simply couldn't afford to attend, and we are pretty sure that few were able to attend the entire film festival, as it was scattered among many venues and many days). In our opinion, celebrities being in town to support a film festival is insignificant in comparison to supporting, and growing, Tampa indie film. We could care less about what "celebrity" is attending whatever (and we're sure that they don't care to meet regular people who pester them for autographs), because Tampa indie film is where our priorities are. Never fear, though, Tampa indie film sell-outs, because we are sure some out there covered this landmark film festival! We are sure that the Tampa film commission was there! In our opinion, the Gasparilla International Film Festival is is aspiring to become another Sarasota Film Festival, something that the Tampa indie film scene can do without. Thank God that the State of Florida has cut back on economic incentives for motion picture production in Florida. While some out there may be trying to promote the Tampa Bay area as a nice location to shoot movies at, the sour state incentives are doing wonders to keep the competition of Tampa filmmakers away from the area. Now is the time for Tampa filmmakers to make their films, and we can do so without larger production companies competing with us for limited resources. Although we do keep an open mind, and would certainly admit to misjudging certain parties if we had evidence which convinced us otherwise, we do not blindly jump on board with questionable agendas and sell out Tampa filmmakers, much like a certain Tampa filmmaker did a few years ago. The sell-outs must be held accountable for what they do, and say! Be sure to read our SAVE TAMPA INDIE FILM notice (added to Tampa Bay Film this morning).
