Tampa Bay Film And Film Festival Status
On the subject of Tampa film
festivals, especially ones which actually do have the best interests of
Tampa indie film in mind (like mine), and don't sell out Tampa filmmakers
to outside competition and tax dollars, I have some information. My conventional
film festivals are less than a year away, but the first Tampa Bay Film
Review underground film festival is coming in late January 2010. The Halloween
Drive-In underground film festival which was aborted at the last minute
just over a month ago would have been the first, but that was not meant
to be (thanks, people- you know who you are!). With a maximum of three
people who could attend due to limited seating, it proved to be vulnerable
to any cancellations. The film festival did not happen due to a couple
of last-minute cancellations, and was not my fault. I had everything together,
and ready to go. I even spent a good amount of money prepping for it (I
first cancelled it, and then it was back on due to the urging of some
people who were involved, and then it was off hours before it was supposed
to happen because they cancelled). The Tampa Bay Film Review underground
film festival, on the other hand, can accommodate quite a few people,
and can even approach the audience of small film festivals such as the
first coffeehouse film reviews. It's invitation only, however, and not
open to the public; I'll probably have no more than a dozen or so people
at the one in late January. I'm looking forward to the first Tampa Bay
Film Review underground film festival, and it will be the first of many.
Now, with the Halloween Drive-In, we may attempt it again next Halloween
(maybe sooner... I just got off the phone with a friend, who was not involved
with the initial abortion, who suggested that we try this month), although
it conflicts with some plans that I made a few months back. It's not because
we will be doing the Reverence film festival (which is my first film festival
event, and will demonstrate the possibilities of the film festival format
when you're creative, and professionals are involved with the planning,
and the execution), but rather because the one in 2010 was supposed to
be an expanded version, with a new format. I really want to do the film
festival in a car concept at least once, though, so I may push back the
expanded, revamped version another year. Damn, it's another year where
I can't publish certain ideas, or write about them. You will all just
have to wait, and you can thank the people who ruined it this year for
that (I certainly have no issue accepting responsibility when things don't
pan out as planned, but in this case, it is not my fault). Well, at least
I can do more with it next year... I'll have more gear to work with. Keep
in mind, too, that I will NOT do an expanded and revamped version of the
Halloween Drive-In without first doing the initial film festival in a
car version (I am determined to prove that it is a good idea, and that
it will be excellent once it is done.). You can check out the official
web sites for all of my underground film festivals, and my conventional
film festival events, at TampaFilmFestivals.Com, which
is one of the eight Tampa Bay Film sites. Look for that domain name-branding
a lot in the next year.
With Tampa Bay Film, the final four sites should, should, should be up
this weekend. So they will be, it's back to work on them.
