PREVIOUS BLOG POST - BLOG POSTS - AUTHOR - POST TO BLOG - NEXT BLOG POST Saturday, October 17, 2009 - 7:43 PM - Tampa Indie Film Log for Filmmaker C. A. Passinault Film Festivals........ I've been on the phone setting up the Halloween Drive-In underground film festival for next week. We have plenty of indie films to watch, too. I just have some power supply issues and mounting issues to work out (Maybe I'll just rip the films to a memory stick and watch them on a smaller screen, which will solve both issues, but give the people in the back seat a less-than-spectacular view). I may be running my car a little, too (kind of like the time that I spent an hour in a parking lot a few months ago editing headshots while my car ran. I was under deadline). One rule: everyone has to be healthy. The last time that I caught the flu was in 1999 (knock on wood) when this model and I spent the day driving around, doing errands. She was sick, and got me sick. I still remember how sick that I got. I was on anti-virals, and was so sick, that I couldn't even play Waverace 64 from bed. I spent all week in bed; thank God that the timing was such that it coincided with the start of my vacation with the bank. I spent my vacation sick. Regarding the Halloween Drive-In, I need to bring several cameras. We are going to have some awesome coverage, even exceeding that of my past film festival coverage. Location? This underground film festival is on four wheels, so we can travel around, and that's what we will be doing, but I am planning on keeping most of it in south Tampa. I am also making the time to have the first Tampa Bay Film Review underground film festival before the year is out. Maybe in December. I already have a spot at a nice house in Valrico. Looks like I need to obtain some more indie films. Oh, and there are developments with the conventional film festival front. I'm on track for the Reverence film festival, a horror and exploitation film festival, in the fall of 2010. This will be my first conventional film festival, and it will be unlike any film festival ever done before. I believe that I have also found my venue for the Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series, scheduled to debut in January 2011, and then run every month. The venue is almost 5,000 square feet, and the fire code is rated at up to 500 people (I can see Paul now... "Fire code? What's a fire code? Is it some'thin ta do with the fire alarm?". No, Paul, it doesn't, but real event planners know what it is, and plan with such details in mind. It's time for the professionals to show you how it is done. I've been a professional event planner for far longer than I have been a photographer, or anything else, except for writing, and it is going to become obvious when my first film festivals debut). The location is perfect, too, and it's not in crime-infested Ybor! Ah, more news. The Tampa Film Showcase, although it is a monthly film festival, will be better than the largest annual film festivals, consistently, and every single month. It is also going to be run like a business, with attention to detail and professional standards. We are serious about creating, and maintaining, an effective, and fun, film festival series. What are the corporate sponsors of those large film festivals going to do when we demonstrate that our monthly film festival is more cost-effective, and a better investment, than those bloated, large annual film festivals? This is going to become interesting, especially when my Tampa film festivals will do what the large film festivals don't: Support, and expand, Tampa indie filmmaking.
