Friday, April 30, 2010 - 9:00 AM - Tampa Indie Film Log for Filmmaker C. A. Passinault
An Ultra-Secret Indie Film Format In The Works
I have a confession
to make. I have a secret indie film project that I’ve been working
on (actually, I have hundreds, upon hundreds, of good ideas which I consider
to be trade secrets, but this is one of my top secrets. I am a creative,
educated person of many ideas, and many secrets, and I have the mental
horsepower, and experience, to work them out). It’s a new type of
indie film which, to my knowledge, has not been done before. I’ve
been working on this new format, or type, of indie film since 2005 (I
always make detailed long-term plans), and other than an actor and a prominent
local news anchor, I haven’t told anyone any details about it. In
the world of indie film, and as an indie filmmaker, this is truly my ace
card. This new type of indie film will give me an unmatched advantage
as a filmmaker, and I expect it to be one of many tools which may make
me the most visible, and top, filmmaker in the Tampa indie film scene.
There won’t be a filmmaker in Florida who will be able to outdo
my efforts in indie film, unless they, too, copy the concept, and by the
time that it is revealed, they will be too far behind the curve, and will
have to do too much catching up, to overcome my industry inertia (additionally,
with Tampa Bay Film and my other publications, everyone will know that
the source of these concepts is me. Steal from me, and refuse to give
credit where it is due, and you will destroy your credibility).
Think that I’m going to give any hints, or details, here, right
now? No way! Although it may be a revolutionary idea, it’s not hard
to do once you learn the details, and that’s why I can’t say
anything right now. You can file this under “Project
Dragonfly” for future reference, as I will refer to
that project name once it is revealed. The project is so secret, as a
matter of fact, that I did not stick to tradition, and didn’t even
give out any hints or clues in the name. I chose Dragonfly because I am
rather fond of the sneaky, and stealthy, nature of the highly skilled,
predatory insect (Also, have you ever looked at the intricate coloration
and the design of the Dragonfly? Awesome. Incredible. The process of evolution
has me beat as a designer, hands-down). Additionally, I like Dragonflies
because they eat lots of mosquitoes, which are quite annoying, much like
certain "filmmakers" who are buzzing around Tampa right now.
So, for the past five years, I have been working in secret, in the dark
confines of a lab, working steadily on Project Dragonfly.
The concept is quite sound, and will be so effective, I predict, that
I no longer consider it to be experimental. I’ve tested it quite
thoroughly, and once it is revealed, and deployed, it will be fully operational.
Project Dragonfly will enhance some of my other
projects, too, as it is a hybrid technology. Filmmakers,
once they see, and experience, what Project Dragonfly
is all about, will beat themselves up, and will wonder why they never
thought of doing that.
Well, it’s because they are not me. It's also because most filmmakers
limit themselves by only making indie films, and not doing other things,
as well. Remember, I invested many years becoming professionally certified
in a wide variety of different fields. This gives me an advantage over
most competitors, who generally have one-dimensional business mind sets,
and are limited because they refuse to think outside of the box. They
also tend to follow others, and do not think for themselves, innovate,
lead, or take the initiative (and you wonder why most people, and filmmakers,
bore me. I'm at the stage in my life, and in my career, where I don't
tolerate simpletons, and I simply do not have to. I only have time to
surround myself with the smartest, and the best, anyway; don't worry of
these statements come off as cocky, or even arrogant, for now, because
the future will validate them. I do rather enjoy the luxury of speaking
my mind, and I tell it how it is).
Another benefit of Project Dragonfly, too, is
that it will kickstart some other project lines which are important to
me, and will make them extremely cost-effective to do (I will give one
clue: Killing two, or even three, birds with one stone). Project
Dragonfly is on schedule to being revealed by 2012, and
could debut as early as next year.
I am very sorry if this is hard to comprehend, or to figure out what I
am talking about, but it will be made clear once I am able to unveil it.
The intention of this post was not to give away my store, or to put out
a good idea which can be stolen from me, and then used against me before
I have a chance to use it myself. It is to demonstrate that what you see
isn’t the entire picture. What I write about, and what I allow others
to see, is a tiny fraction of the scope of things that I am working on.
Yes, I have a master plan, and there isn’t a person, organization,
or business (even Hollywood can’t touch these ideas. All the money
in the world can’t compete with great ideas, and these are not for
sale, at any price. They are mine, and they will be used in my career,
as well as used to benefit Tampa filmmakers) in the world who can compete
against it. Every single thing that I’ve been working on has an
important purpose in the master plan.
Oh, and you haven’t seen anything, yet. I have a lot of other indie
film-relevant ideas, too, which will prove to be revolutionary. I intend
to lead by example. It is my hope that my efforts will inspire a new generation
of Tampa filmmakers to work together and make Tampa indie film an innovative
leader in the independent film industry.
Time will reveal all.
