TAMPA BAY INDEPENDENT FILM
The standard of independent filmmaking in Tampa Bay
The thumbnails above, which are for our online film festival, are now active. That online film festival, The Connected Film Festival, is the official online film festival for the Tampa Bay Independent Film web site.
2025 INTRODUCTION
Welcome
to Tampa Bay Independent Film, the standard of independent filmmaking
in Tampa Bay!
This web site originally began as the new Tampa Bay Film web site in 2013,
using the Tampa Bay Independent Film .Com domain name, as the original
domain name was damaged during a conflict which began in 2007. This site
was Tampa Bay Film until 2023, when we relaunched Tampa Bay Film under
its original domain name as a remastered vintage site, as the damage to
that domain name was removed over time.
That’s when this site became its own site, Tampa Bay Independent
Film, the sister site to the renewed Tampa Bay Film, with another sister
site, a new site, Tampa Bay Indie Film, in development.
Enough of history, however. We are here to talk about the present, the
now of 2025, and the future.
Things are going to change.
Things have to change.
It’s obvious that most of the current independent filmmakers in
Tampa Bay have failed, that they have been poor stewards of local indie
film here, and that what they have done isn’t working.
Worse, many of them are toxic, and they are in the game for the wrong
reasons.
The conflict that started in 2007 continues, in a way, although the strategy
has changed.
We no longer have the time to address what any filmmaker or group of filmmakers
do, as far as engaging them one on one. We will address the market as
a whole, and change the conditions in which the operate.
In November 2023, while doing research as one of our filmmakers prepared
for production of a short film, we discovered some information which will
change everything. It seems that contractors are not acceptable for independent
film production, and that filmmakers have to pay minimum wage, overtime,
and have to have Workers Comp coverage for the production of their independent
films. Well, that means things are going to get a lot more expensive.
Then we have independent filmmakers who condition themselves into believing
that they can only do so much with the resources that they are working
with. They throw together what they try to pass of as a script, cater
to the lowest standards, work with unattractive, untalented, unskilled
people who aren’t actually actors, and put out risque trash and
call those films. Worse, some of that content is so extreme, that it is
our opinion that it may actually break obscenity laws.
We will make everyone in the Tampa Bay independent film scene accountable
for what they say and do. We will make sure that they can be researched,
and that their successes, and failures, can be easily known. This is an
important, and crucial, step to helping the independent film scene in
Tampa Bay to be finally put on the map in the future, and be appropriately
respected as a legitimate player and powerhouse in the independent film
industry. We will help the weak and the unethical leave the market, as
they will pay for their sins. We will also support those whom deserve
it. If you are good and talented, we are your friend, an we will be a
powerful ally. If you are not, you will have to shape up or improve, or
you will not succeed. Don't worry, though, as we will give you a chance
to improve before we help your new Tampa Bay Independent Film-enhanced
competition drive you from the market and put you out of business; We
will show you what you are doing wrong and how to fix it, and, if you
work hard and start acting like professionals, you will be able to adapt
and remain a part of the independent film scene here in Tampa Bay.
You're welcome!
Tampa Bay Film will also do our part to support and advance independent
film in Tampa Bay. We will be producing a Tampa Bay Film Podcast series.
We will be producing the most sophisticated, comprehensive network of
film festivals and indie film industry events in Florida, as well as the
United States. With our production partners, we will also produce an ongoing
series of independent film projects, and will document and publish every
aspect of the production of these film projects so that they will serve
as inspiration, and as a free online tutorial for a new generation of
talented filmmakers to follow (This will be devastating for those who
try to make money off of aspiring filmmakers with their overpriced workshops
and so-called film schools, as it is our opinion that they will deserve
it. It is also our opinion that they do nothing to support or advance
indie film in our area, and that their motives are questionable, at best.
We do not support them, and will be working hard to undermine and disrupt
their agenda. We will be producing indie filmmaking workshops, too, workshops
which are not only more relevant and effective for making independent
films here, but offered free of charge! We’d like to see the "competition"
compete with that!). There is going to be a revolution in the Florida
independent film industry, and it will center here in Tampa Bay. We will
join with others to work hard toward making the Tampa Bay area a worldwide
leader in the independent film industry, and the most innovative indie
films ever done will be here.
10 years from now, most of the current players in Tampa Bay independent
film will no longer be a part of the scene (which will make us very happy!),
and that will be a good thing because the only thing that most of them
have succeeded in is holding back the progress of indie film in Tampa
Bay, in our opinion. The independent film scene here will no longer be
dominated by aspiring politicians who claim to support indie film, but
who's actions betray their words as they sell out their fimmaking brothers
and the film scene. Tampa Bay independent film will be led and controlled
by a new generation of filmmakers. It will be as it should be, and as
it needs to be, as it is our opinion that most of the current players
have not only failed to support and advance the scene, but that they put
their own self-serving interests ahead of the greater good, while misrepresenting
their efforts, and are responsible for crippling indie film in Tampa Bay!
Hollywood needs to stay away from Tampa Bay, too! We do not need competition
coming here with deep pockets and undermining the independent film scene.
Don’t fall for the propaganda stating that there are jobs for independent
filmmakers with these outside productions, too, as, historically, it is
not true, and a few token gigs don’t change anything. It is also
our opinions that the current large film festivals, such as the Gasparilla
International Film Festival and the Sunscreen Film Festival are too “Hollywood”-centric,
and are used to market the Tampa Bay area as a location for outside production
companies at the expense of local independent film. It is our opinion
that local filmmakers who do not realize this (or want to realize this),
and support these efforts, are idiots with no business sense, and need
to be accountable for helping to sell out the filmmaking scene. We need
leaders, and not mindless followers! Think that we are going to stand
for this? Think again! Revolution is going to happen, and those who are
not for us, are against us, and we will drive them from the market, and
from the industry!
10 years from now, Hollywood will not think of the Tampa Bay area as a
location to be used for their next production, at the expense of indie
film. The local government will not think about importing film business
here while humoring indie filmmaking, like we believe it has been doing.
Independent film in Tampa Bay will finally be respected, and it will be
an export, as Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment world will look
here for their next film to buy and distribute.
Of course, to make this future a reality, we all need to start working
together now, and this is why Tampa Bay Film is here.
LATEST ADDITIONS AND NEWS
With the recent launch of The
Connected Film Festival, after seven years of delayed development, and
the recent restoration of capabilities to build and maintain web sites,
which had been in limbo since 2017 and is now fully operational, again,
we are in the process of upgrading existing web sites with next-generation
formats, tools, tactics, resources, and content, while building and deploying
brand new next-generation web sites such as Tampa Bay Indie Film, Indie
Film Auteur, Film Scams, Florida Independent Film, Florida Indie Film,
Florida Film Review, Tampa Film Review, and many more.
Existing actor and talent resource web sites are also being upgraded to
next-generation talent resource web site standards, and will assist actors
and talent in evaluating local filmmakers and their productions to determine
if they should work with them.
Many filmmakers will be cut off from actors and talent.
Passinault has stated that the Tampa Bay indie film war, which started
in late 2007, is now entering its 16th year, and should be resolved within
five years. He had left some filmmakers alone for the past nine years,
after addressing them bullying and slandering a contributor back in 2014,
and then giving one of them a domain name free of charge a couple of years
ago, online to be blamed for something that he had nothing to do with
after he gave them the domain name. With Passinault announcing in 2023
the start of production work of his own independent films, two “actors”associated
with the filmmakers began harassing him on social media and tried to get
him to make concessions that would have made his independent films too
expensive to make. Passinault did not fall for it, and he realized that
the filmmakers were behind the attacks, which convinced him that the war
was far from over, especially with filmmakers and their “fans”
attacking Passinault after he posted his opinions on his social media
wall about their films that he had seen, even after he didn’t name
the films or the filmmakers..
Checks and balances and professional standards will be introduced to the
Tampa Bay market.

This site officially rebranded Tampa Bay Independent Film. Thumbnail array

Today we officially rebranded
this web site, which had been the Tampa Bay Film site since 2013, Tampa
Bay Independent Film. Our online film festival, the Connected Film Festival,
which launched three days ago on October 4, 2023, is now operational,
and we activated our thumbnail array above to link to the featured film
section of that web site.
NOTICE:
New remastered Tampa Bay Film online and operational. About to be updated
with new content. -
04/02/23/2031/
The new remastered Tampa
Bay Film site has been online now for almost four weeks,
launched on March 6, 2023. It is about to have new content added.
The Florida Film Blog and other independent film support web sites will
be launched in the Fall of 2023.
NOTICE:
New remastered Tampa Bay Film site about to launch, but with a design
based on the Tampa Film Blog site, although the remaster of the original
site was done. Tampa Film Blog site from 2008-2012 resurrected and is
now online. -
03/08/23/0303/
Yesterday, with the design
and the coding of the remastered Tampa Bay Film site done and with adding
content underway, we were looking at the old Tampa Film Blog site, as
the original plan was to add that old content to the new blog on Tampa
Bay Film over time. Upon looking at it, with the Templates to the images
lost and some of the information dated to when it was posted, we decided
to simply buy the domain name again and to relaunch the old site, as we
didn't want to bother with it (The same thing may be going on over at
Frontier Pop, which will resume updates and the monthly publication of
issues before Polyvinci begins the publication of its monthly issues and
Deranged Fanboys begins its weekly publication. There is little point
in doing the lost issues. Frontier Pop will probably be reset, with the
old content remaining on the site, but not emphasized or referenced from
the new issues). The Tampa
Film Blog is what it is, and while we may go through
it over time and clean up old links, we won't be doing much with it but
making it available. New blog posts will be on Tampa Bay Film,
This site will soon be updated as Tampa Bay Independent Film. Reviews,
such as film festival coverage, will be removed from this site, updated,
and then published on Tampa Bay Film. We have different plans for this
site which will over lap with Tampa Bay Film and the other independent
film resource sites.
At any rate, while looking at the Tampa Film Blog site, we realized that
we liked the design and the buttons, as well as the colors, better, and
the thumbnails on the remastered original site were pointless, and we
decided to remove them. That's when we decided to go with an updated version
of the Tampa Film Blog design, knowing that it would only add a day or
two more of development time.
Now we go with an announcement that we didn't include in the title header
above for this post.
Passinault is now making films, and he is getting attacked by people associated
with filmmakers that he has issues with over those films. Passinault has
left these people alone for the past seven years, and they keep running
their mouths, spreading lies about him, blaming him him for things that
he didn't do (Passinault gave one of them a domain name, and the filmmaker
turned around and name dropped him in a social media post, blaming him
for something that happened that Passinault had nothing to do with. The
filmmaker and Woods then blocked Passinault. What's funny about that is
that someone else, and not Passinault, was responsible, and we have no
idea who they are, but its conformation that people out there hate them
for whatever reason. Why the filmmaker would have blamed Passinault after
Passinault gave him the domain name didn't make sense, however, but the
accusation was not appreciated, as Passinault had been trying to let things
settle down over a period of several years and make peace with these people.
We now see that this isn't possible, and we now choose to follow through
on plans to impose checks and balances on the market that these people
are going to hate, because they will be forced to deal with them).
These attacks will not be tolerated.
That's a reason why we decided to resurrect the Tampa Film Blog. We will
also be doing something that will have some dramatic effects on what these
people do and what they have done. We predict that they will soon make
some of the films that they have done unavailable for some weird reason,
and it will be amusing.
The bottom line is that we don't care what these people think. We will
never work with them, and they have made it perfectly clear that they
will never work with us. The truth is that we don't need them, and never
will.
There will be no peace, and these filmmakers will be held accountable
for what they do.

Working on the "new" vintage Tampa Bay Film site and the next
generation online film festival, the Connected Film Festival. Advanced
independent filmmaking formats defined and now testing. -
03/05/23/0315/0337/
We are
now building these two sites, with an updated layout design for the new
online film festival. This site will become Tampa Bay Independent Film
once the "new" Tampa Bay Film site is online. We are also working
on Indie Film Auteur, which will be our main independent film resource
site. We have two other local independent film resource sites in the works,
as well. In other news, this one being a local note, Passinault has begun
production of independent film, completing a nano indie film, and, yesterday,
on March 3, 2023, he had several breakthroughs which tie in directly with
recent investments in independent filmmaking gear and research, which
make independent film production easier, lower cost, faster, more innovative,
and higher in quality and content than most independent films made now,
without the logistics and the large crews. What do you suppose will happen
when you can make more films faster that are higher quality? It would
be like the advent of the modern assembly line as compared to a company
building one thing at a time. Passinault was able to justify the thousands
invested into gear over the past five years because he is integrating
video into his businesses and other web sites. Unlike most independent
filmmakers, as well, he is truly independent, able to make high quality
independent films by himself faster and with more innovation; he is not
dependent upon others to make films, and this is a major advantage. Another
major advantage that he has is that he can produce independent films without
attracting attention on location (thanks to his two decades of experience
as a location photographer), and doesn't have to work with unions and
doesn't need red tape such as permits (We would like to see a law that
states that you require a permit and what the penalties are, as we haven't
been able to find any, although this is moot when it's tough to prove
that an independent film is being made and, after it is done, where it
was done, in the case of things such as actual locations, and not views
from public locations). These new types of independent films are classified,
and are trade secrets. Additionally, there is evidence that filmmakers
have been ripping off the few ideas for independent films that Passinault
has posted on social media. He will no longer be announcing what he is
working on publicly.
NOTICE:
Checks and Balances to be imposed upon local independent filmmakers with
an armada of effective new web sites, including over a dozen independent
film review web sites. -
01/06/23/0309/0441/0456/ - 01/07/23/0020/
Local
independent filmmakers and Tampa Bay are about to discover that the party
is over, and that they will be held accountable for what they do and HAVE
DONE. They will no longer be able to do whatever it is that they want
to, especially if it is at the expense of others; they will no longer
get away with exploiting actors and talent and slandering others to discredit
them. We are working on a large number of brand new independent film review
sites, for starters, all with content written specifically for each site
under pseudonyms made for that site. Each and every local film will see
multiple reviews on all of these sites, and those reviews, although written
differently, will all arrive at the same conclusion (there will be legal
disclaimers about the use of pseudonyms, as we don't want people to get
the wrong impression that all of these people are different people, especially
if we have advertising on the sites, although we won't reveal who these
writers are, as we don't want them harassed and attacked). Additionally,
and this is a big one, we will start asking, and getting people to wonder,
if the independent films that are available cross the line and are obscene.
If a local jury of peers could determine such films are obscene (and they
probably would), we will suggest that those filmmakers and anyone involved
be reported to law enforcement and the District Attorney for investigation.
Remember that freedom of speech is not protected if the content is determined
to be obscene. Some independent filmmakers may see fines and jail time
for the fantasies that they are obsessed with being made into films. We
think that they will look at their catalog of independent films that are
being sold and start yanking them off of the market, as it would be the
smart thing to do. Is it worth the risk?
We really do support local independent film, but remember that support doesn't mean supporting everything. If anything goes, nothing matters, and there have to be standards. If you are cultivating a garden, do you allow the weeds to grow? Think about it. If independent film in Tampa Bay is to be taken seriously, things need to change. It's time to take out the trash.

Updating and Migrating Web Sites. New Web Sites being built. Passinault
now making independent films. -
01/06/23/0309/0329/0347/0426/0441/ - 01/07/23/0020/
We are
in the process of updating web sites for 2023 and migrating them to a
new server (this site was already migrated, which is why it has been updated
recently). While we have to wait for later in 2023 for these older sites
(this one) to be overhauled and upgraded to next-generation talent resource
site standards, as we have to build and deploy a lot of new web sites
(and these old sites, such as this one, are being monitored by hostile
parties. We don't want to tip our hand on the rather nasty surprises,
which we have been working on since 2007, too early; good luck finding
most of the new sites, as you have to know specifically what their actual
target audience is looking for with the specific keywords being used to
find them) before we can do much with the older legacy sites, there are
a few exceptions. Without tipping our hand or revealing what we have been
working on, this site will be re branded Tampa Bay Independent Film by
January 11, 2023, the day that an updated, new Tampa Bay Film site that
emulates the classic design of the original site will be re launched under
its domain name (right now, Tampa Bay Film .Com forwards here); the newest
version of Tampa Bay Film will be a lot like Tampa Bay Modeling in design.
Expect the 1,600 page Tampa Film Blog, which has been intentionally kept
offline for over a decade, to be republished on that site over time (we
can't add too much content too quickly, as we want the search engines
to drink and savor every delicious word and properly index the blog content.
It needs to be read and referenced). Film festival reviews that were also
done for Tampa Bay Film will be published on this newest incarnation of
Tampa Bay Film, too (all of the Tampa Bay Film branded images on this
site will be removed from this site and will be used on Tampa Bay Film).
Keep in mind that the "new" Tampa Bay Film site is a secondary
resource web site and is expendable; we are not going to push that branding,
as it is contested. Tampa Bay Film will be a scrappy web site with powerful
scam-fighting tools and resources, as well as information, and will be
optimized to fight .
In related news, our new main independent film resource web site, which will be revolutionary, will be Indie Film Auteur (.Com), and will launch in a few weeks. Locally, the main regional independent film resource site will be Tampa Bay Indie Film, which is a brand new web site that will also launch in a few weeks. Enjoy!
We have spent the past five years, starting in 2017, investing in new computers and support infrastructure to keep up with all of our web sites. All that work is done. Prepare for lot of new web sites (redundancy is planned in the construction and deployment of these new resource and support web sites, some of which will be specifically created to fight scams and to impose checks and balances upon markets and industries. Although cutting-edge and 100 times more effective than our current sites, these sites are also expendable, as they are low-cost and easy to make and maintain. We can lose many of them and still keep on slugging it out) and lots of content. A year from now, everything will be different, and better. This site, as one of many examples, will be upgraded to next-generation talent resource web site standards, with new content, tools, and tactics, by then. Oh, and our new and improved online film festival will be online in a few weeks. It will be called the Connected Film Festival. Keep checking back; these are exciting times, and we look forward to expanding our support of independent film in Tampa Bay. One more thing.... Passinault has invested in thousands of dollars for independent film production infrastructure, bringing down the cost of making innovative, high quality independent films to practically nothing, with films being made quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. He is working on some 4K films right now, and has THREE independent film production rigs, including a stealth rig that can be used to produce quality independent films discretely. He can make innovative, high quality, revolutionary independent films quickly and inexpensively, and can make over six ambitious short films a year and dozens of nano films (a good film can be done in less than a week. The secret to making good, cost-effective independent films is to write a good script and to write it with realistic, inexpensive production in mind, which doesn't mean cutting corners and compromising quality). He will be making films in 2023, and they will debut free of charge on the Connected Film Festival. New standards in local independent film are about to be set!
NOTICE:
This Tampa Bay Film site is about to change. -
06/02/22/1929
This
site, now known as Tampa Bay Film, which it has been since 2013, is about
to become Tampa Bay Independent Film. Tampa Bay Film will relaunched under
its domain name, mainly as an archive site, although it will be upgraded
as a responsive, mobile-friendly web site which will look like the original
Raptor Class site, and will be updated. We have another site, too, Tampa
Bay Indie Film, which will be brand new. Thus, this site is about to become
three.
There are more sites on the way, too, all using the latest next-generation
talent resource web site tactics and formats, and all being responsive
and mobile-friendly, including sites for new and established independent
filmmakers, independent film review sites, and independent film scam-busting
sites. We even have sites coming which will help filmmakers navigate the
dangers of networking with other filmmakers, which is an ongoing problem
with filmmakers trying to sabotage and slander anyone whom they feel that
they can’t compete with.
This is all coming the Summer of 2022.
NOTICE:
Tampa Bay Film to become three different, but related, web sites.
- 03/09/21/0432/0515
We know
that it has been roughly 3 ½ years since our last update, but a
lot has been going on behind the scenes, as the independent film conflict
in Tampa Bay is ongoing and continues into its 14th year.
There is now end in sight for the war, and we are actually dramatically
increasing assets to wage it, with the Tampa Bay Independent Film sites
to incorporate next-generation talent resource site formats, tactics,
and resources, that new standard secretly in development since 2007. Ironically,
much of that development resulted from what was learned in the experiences
of the indie film war, as it was much more fierce than any conflict with
modeling and talent scams, as the players took it personally and fought
back any way that they could.
The indie film war proved to be extremely valuable in developing next-generation
talent resource sites.
Then we come to why the site is going to become three different, but related,
web sites.
Tampa Bay Film has been our brand since 2006, and we will continue to
maintain that brand, although there are potential conflicts from something
with a similar brand, consisting of a rearrangement of words, that we
are going to be in vigorous conflict with, and that brand has been in
play just a little longer than ours. Because of that, the Tampa Bay Film
brand is not as strong as it could be, and we don’t want to put
all of our proverbial eggs into that basket. If we were to operate under
that branding and continue to build it, it would be too tempting of a
target to go after in ways that would up the stakes, and we don’t
want to be an easy target, as we don’t want to be silenced. That
is the reason that the site will become three.
It’s also the reason that we haven’t had any updates on the
site for several years, as we had to come up with a solid strategy before
we did a lot of work on the site, which will now be sites. You don’t
put a lot of work into something that you would later have to undo or
change.
When Tampa Bay Film launched in January of 2007, It was a web site under
its domain name. By 2012, however, that site took some damage in search
rankings because of things that were done to it by our opponents, which
is why we moved the site under the Tampa Bay Independent Film domain name
in 2013. That move proved to be very successful over the years.
Soon, in 2021, Tampa Bay Film will be relaunched as a stand-alone web
site under its original domain name. As this site will be smaller and
more belligerent than the other sites, it will be more... Expendable.
It will also be built to fight, and will have some serious teeth to back
up its bark, a tough little site that will be built to wage war. Of course,
the past eight years have also restored that domain name to be used as
a stand-alone site, again, instead of forwarding to the Tampa Bay Independent
Film web site.
The “new” Tampa Bay Film site will look like the original
site, but will be built as a clean sheet from the ground up with the latest
tactics and content under the hood. It will also be a responsive site
which is mobile-friendly, using the cutting-edge upcoming Raptor 4 variant
of the Raptor Class site (used by other scrappy talent resource sites
such as Tampa Bay Modeling), with three different layouts for desktop,
tablet, and mobile (smart) phones, the layout instantly configuring to
the best layout depending upon the device being used to view it.
Tampa Bay Independent Film will be rebranded to match its domain name,
and will become the main independent film resource and directory web site
for the Tampa Bay region, and it will be more review orientated and won’t
be into fighting scams as much as Tampa Bay Film will be (and some other
sites that we are working on, such as Film Scams). It will be massive
site, with a lot of information on the local independent film industry,
the players, and the films.
The completely new site in the works to be added to the trio will be our
upcoming Tampa Bay Indie Film site, which will be more upbeat and positive.
It won't touch anything that is outright controversial or inflammatory,

The branding
“Tampa Bay Film”, “Tampa Bay independent film”,
“Florida Independent Film”, “Tampa Film Revolution”,
and the slogan “The voice of Tampa Bay independent film” are
trademarked, even when not indicated in formats where the “TM”
is omitted for the purposes of art direction and design aesthetics. The
“Coffeehouse Film Festival”, “Reverence Film Festival”,
“Sunburn Film Festival”, “Tampa Bay Film Showcase”,
the “Tampa Bay Film Conference”, “Tampa Bay Film Community”,
and other Tampa Bay Film branding and slogans are also trademarked, as
are the terms “underground film festival” and “online
film festival” pertaining to the Tampa Bay market. They may not
be used without our express written permission, and all rights are reserved.
Records of our claims, creation dates, and ownership history are on file,
and are documented; they cannot be disputed or ignored. Work on Tampa
Bay Film and on our intellectual properties officially began in 2006,
although the origins of our properties go back even further, and Tampa
Bay Film officially launched on January 11, 2007, although this operating
domain name is the third location of our web site, established in 2013,
and it is not the original.
This web site has been designed from scratch to be conflict-hardened and
effective in prosecuting conflicts, engineered from the lessons gleaned
during the conflicts of our early years, which we won. It is designed
to be resistant to being attacked and to fight and eliminate scams and
unethical conduct in the independent film industry. As a Revolution Class
site, it is the first 3rd Generation talent resource site and a late 3rd
Generation web site; both descriptions representing different definitions.
Information presented on this web site are opinions unless specifically
defined in writing, and it is not to be taken or used as advice. Use of
this web site is at your own risk. You assume all risks and potential
liability when attempting anything described on this site. We do not explain
