PREVIOUS BLOG POST - BLOG POSTS - AUTHOR - POST TO BLOG - NEXT BLOG POST Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - 8:00 AM - Tampa Indie Film Log for Filmmaker C. A. Passinault Two More TFR Reviews On The Way I am now writing the two latest unauthorized reviews for The Tampa Film Review, and monthly film festival series that ended its long five year run in January 2009. First up will be the unauthorized review of The Tampa Film Review 2009, which will cover the single TFR film festival event in January 2009 (this is known to be the best of the TFR's, so it should receive the highest score, although there will be some criticism concerning the lack of support of the people who never bothered to attend, but showed up at the last one). The 2009 TFR review will be up this month on the Tampa Bay Film Tampa Film Review site, a Tampa Bay Film site optimized for Tampa indie film reviews and coverage. In November, another review of the TFR will be published. This is a review, a guide, and a historical reference for the entire Tampa Film Review series, and will cover its five year run from 2004-2009. In 2010, there is the possibility that there could be two more reviews for The Tampa Film Review, covering the two years that it was known as the Coffeehouse Film Review. The unauthorized review for TFR 2004 and TFR 2005 could be in the works, and if I decide to write, and publish them, the TFR 2004-2009 guide / summary review will be updated to reference them. I feel that this film festival series must be documented, and the official history of the TFR, both good and bad, will be documented on Tampa Bay Film. I am fully expecting more profanity-filled hate mail from TFR organizer Paul Guzzo, but he should know that it is not my intention to bash the TFR, or Paul and his brother. I am going to be fair, objective, and unbiased. It may not, however, seem like it, because there was a lot wrong with the TFR, despite the positive spin a few people gave it. While it had a good, long run, which is respectable, and they did not turn away anyone's film, which could be seen as commendable, I have some mixed feelings about the TFR. I have some strong opinions, too, as both a professional event planner, and someone who is sincere about supporting Tampa indie film. As an amateur indie film club, the TFR succeeded. As far as advancing Tampa indie film and establishing a Tampa indie film community, however, in my opinion, it failed miserably. Another issue that I have is how quickly Pete and Paul jumped on the board of a large film festival which, in my opinion, did not have the best interests of Tampa indie film in mind (ignorance or hypocrisy, I don't really know, but either one really hinges on whether my opinion is fact or not, doesn't it?). For two brothers who promoted themselves as improving Tampa indie film, the results, as well as the history, which will be documented, expose more questions than answers. It's a mess of politics and contradiction, in my opinion. We don't need another TFR. The Tampa indie film scene does not need any more hack jobs and amateur film clubs. We need a professional monthly film festival! We need professional standards, and some progress. Five years was a good run, but what if they only came full circle? Spinning your wheels, and making the same mistakes over and over again, is NOT progress. Oh, and despite all this, and my opinions, I do think that Pete and Paul are good filmmakers. Go Go Guzzo Bros! PREVIOUS BLOG POST - BLOG POSTS - AUTHOR - POST TO BLOG - NEXT BLOG POST UPDATED 12/09/10 © Copyright 2009 Tampa Film Blog. All Rights reserved.
