Blog Updates And Upcoming Reviews - Preparing My First Underground Film Festival
Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 5:29 PM - Tampa Indie Film Log for Filmmaker C. A. Passinault
More Silence Before The Storm?
It’s been
a quiet summer so far for the Tampa Bay Film sites, and, no, we have not
abandoned our sites, or our cause. The sites are in a planned dormancy
right now, although they are not entirely idle. I’m planning on
updating the online film festival next week, and will be updating all
of the eight of the Tampa Bay Film sites in July 2010.
So, what’s going on? A perfect storm of different elements.
First, there isn’t a whole lot worth reporting in the Tampa indie
film scene. Much of it has been de-listed as far as what we recognize
as relevant in the Tampa indie film scene, and we will not be supporting,
or reporting on, what we do not recognize.
Second, my web team has been working on other projects right now, which
gives us little time to work on this long term investment. The plan, which
is on track, was to establish a network of Tampa Bay Film sites late last
year, and then put them on standby for most of this year. We won’t
really need to push the Tampa Bay Film sites, and my filmmaking agenda
won’t require them, until 2011, at the earliest.
Third, I am working on my businesses at the moment, and don’t have
time to make any indie films. My indie films are one of the main reasons
that I’ve invested so much into the Tampa Bay Film platform. Platform.....
remember that word. You’ll be hearing a lot about it in the coming
months and years. Of course, filmmaking is very important to me, and it
will be a main part of my future as an artist, and as a businessman. Do
you really think that I would pour more resources into my Tampa Bay Film
platform than in anything else in my portfolio if I did not have a serious
plan? I’m certainly not doing all of this work just to sit around
and not go anywhere with it. The foundation is done, the Tampa Bay Film
sites are not going away, and they can afford to sit tight until we are
ready to utilize them. Currently, I’ll be in position to make films
in 2011. Our film festivals will start shortly after we have a few films
done. Everything else is timed according to the start of the film festivals.
Everything is good.
I plan on making a series of short films in 2011. By 2013, we will have
a portfolio of short films, and a series of film festivals not only behind
us, but ongoing. Film festivals are going to be extremely important to
not only my filmmaking and indie film agendas, but my other business interests
as well. We will have the dominant, and the most effective, network of
interconnected film festivals and indie film events. I will have controlling
interest in the Tampa indie film market, and the Tampa indie film scene,
as well as the upcoming indie film community in Tampa Bay, will be the
domain of Tampa Bay Film.
In related notes, I’m rather disappointed that no one currently
involved in the Tampa indie film scene has risen to the challenge of posting
here on the Tampa Film Blog, or debating here. I’m going to suppose
that this means that everyone agrees with my posts here? All kidding aside,
this will change. Time is on our side, and time will accomplish all of
our goals. You can expect some fierce debates here on the Tampa Film Blog
in the future, as well as filmmakers posting content. After all, the Tampa
Film Blog is not just my podium, but it is a tool for all Tampa filmmakers.
Remember that.
Oh, and I have a recent post on my Dream
Nine Studios news section. Check it out while you ponder the future
of Tampa indie film. Also, keep in mind that there is a lot going on behind
the scenes that you cannot see (and a lot of work organizing and editing
content here on the Tampa Film Blog. There really isn’t a point
in posting a whole lot when organizing the content that we already have
is not only something that has to get done, but it is more cost-effective
as far as our ongoing SEO agenda). I’ve only revealed a tiny fraction
of what we are working on. I will say that my short film projects will
be nothing less than groundbreaking, if not revolutionary. Hell, they
should be; I’ve spent enough time working toward making them.
That’s it for now. Expect a post revealing the long term plans of
Tampa Bay Film soon.
