Happy With Our Progress
It takes time to build something great, something that will make a difference, and something that will last. Has anyone checked the search engines lately? I just did, and I am very happy with what I have found. The results also help explain the record-setting levels of web site traffic to the array of Tampa Bay Film sites. By the time I get around to making my indie films, my online marketing and promotional assets will be unstoppable. They already dominate over the efforts of competitors, and new sites such as Tampa Film Community, Tampa Film Festivals, and Tampa Film Conference are already being indexed by the search engines. My efforts have only just begun, too. Obviously, I am not stopping. I am expanding work into my Tampa Bay Film sites. I just obtained approval from my senior staff to invest a lot more time and money into these efforts, too. I think that I have proven that I am determined, and that we will eventually succeed with our plans. The economy is working in our favor, too, weakening competitors while we increase our efforts, and this is possible because we operate leaner. We are smarter.
Right now, I am busy working on my Tampa Bay Modeling site, which is the top modeling resource in Tampa and Florida; those who want to see a glimpse of the future only have to look at my other sites, which set standards and have the best web traffic in their fields. I accomplish this, too, without having to spend any money with advertisers. Content is king, and thousands upon thousands read, and learn from, the content on my sites.
Once Tampa Bay Modeling is upgraded in preparation for its 5 year anniversary on October 18 (Tampa Bay Film will celebrate 3 years in January 2010, so it is two years behind Tampa Bay Modeling; this is why Tampa Bay Modeling is an indicator of the future, and a conservative one at that once you factor in the much greater competition in the modeling industry, and the fact that we have many times the resources put into Tampa Bay Film. The Tampa Bay Film sites are going to be HUGE, and are already the dominant voice of Tampa indie film. I'm actually quite good at investing in the future, as I have a very detailed, and educated, plan. I also have the experience and the skills to pull it off), we will be upgrading the Tampa Bay Film sites to Super Raptors in October. Once that is done, I will be taking November and December to finish my Frontier 4 novel, as it is about six weeks from being completed. I started Frontier 4 in 1989, so it's been in the works for a while; I am now on my seventh, and final, draft. After Frontier 4, I will be prepping for the sequel, which is also close to being finished (the treatment, and the story, is done), and then will be working on a non-fiction book, Advanced Model. Advanced Model will turn the modeling industry upside down, and will prove to be extremely controversial, as well as revolutionary; I have been proving, and testing, many of the ideas and concepts in that book for the past eight years. Ironically, I have a book deal for Advanced Model, but not for Frontier 4. In 2010, with a science fiction novel and a modeling industry book under my belt, I will be spending a lot of time on various literary projects, including short stories (check out my short stories The Point , which will become one of my short films very soon, and Born Beautiful, which is a two-story series about a model and her modeling career. Born Beautiful, as well as more modeling fiction, will be featured in my Advanced Model book), short film screenplays (I have many short films to make in the next two years. I also wrote a screenplay for a feature film with the help of my friend, writer Rachel Eaglin. This was the screenplay for the original Reverence Feature Film, which will not be produced, and has little in common with my upcoming Reverence short film), and other projects. Obviously, something will have to give with all of this writing and filmmaking going on, so once I get my web sites to where I need them to be, updates will be slower. My blogs will also see far fewer updates, as I will not have much time to write books online when I have more serious writing to do. Ah.... more stories and novels. I really am looking forward to writing a new Brandon Gangs novel. Brandon Gangs was my first novel, written in 1984 as The Adventures Of The Riverview Gang (silly title, I know, and so was the story. I finished it, however). I worked on a reboot in the early 1990's, rebranding it Brandon Gangs. That draft was very popular with my test readers, so I will take most of that story and update it with lots of new stuff. Additionally, I want to rework City Scene, my first published story series, and will probably be rebranding that property. City Scene was, and is, about underground street racing, something that my brother knows more about at this point than I do. Oh, and I may also be working on a Frontier 4 spinoff, set in the world of 2020 (an alternate 2020, as it is now clear that the actual 2020 will not be as advanced as the one that I have created). I've spent many years building a believable, detailed world and technology for Frontier 4, so I intend to get the most mileage out of all that background material.
It is really ironic. Some bloggers are fans of books and film. I'm more of a professional critic than a fan, and a big advantage that I have is that I actually create as well as review and cover.
