TAMPA BAY FILM BUZZ
Rumors, speculation, and opinions.
By C. A. Passinault, Editor, Tampa Bay Film
A
remake of The Quiet Place? Free collaborative independent filmmaking workshops?
Is it too good to be true?
Tampa Bay Film Editor and the first-of-the-next-generation
independent filmmaker C. A. Passinault has already announced that he plans
on doing a remake of The Quiet Place around the 10th anniversary of its
production, in 2016, and since he was the one who referred lead actress
Harmony Oswald to the original film, as they are friends, and that he
would like to cast Harmony in the lead role as the mother, if possible
(Harmony is no longer local, so it remains to be seen if she can be cast).
This new independent film is a remake in spirit only, and only shares
a similar title. It will be called “Quiet Places”, and will
have a completely original story penned by Passinault himself and using
a small, elite production team. It will have a budget actually smaller
than The Quiet Place had in 2006, as well as a much smaller cast; Passinault
intends to make a superior film at lower cost to demonstrate cost-effective
independent filmmaking to inspire a new generation of independent filmmakers
in Tampa Bay, and the behind-the-scenes production articles and tutorials
will be published on our Tampa Film Revolution site, cutting out the need
for overpriced and overrated film schools or workshops. Tampa Film Revolution
will become our free online film school in addition to our independent
filmmaking publication, and it will tie in with a related, collaborative
independent filmmaking workshops which will also be free of charge (That’s
right... FREE workshops which no film school will be able to compete with,
with better, more cost-effective results in the filmmaking than in any
local film school or other workshop even if our workshops were priced
higher). The original Quiet Place was a collaborative production under
the original Tampa Film Network; the collaborative workshop idea, which
was from Joe Davison, of all people, was a good one, but it was also executed
poorly during the production of The Quiet Place, which suffered from,
in our opinion, “too many hands in the pot” syndrome as a
result of poor direction, a rushed production, Paul Guzzo cutting important
lines and scenes from the script, and unprofessional personal issues between
the cast and the crew, including an attempt at credibility sabotage when
slanderous, made-up rumors were spread about Passinault himself, which
were completely undeserved, although they convinced Passinault that the
local independent film scene was flawed beyond redemption and had to be
addressed (in essence, they picked the wrong person to mess with). The
result, of course, was the the original Quiet Place film was deeply flawed,
and a mediocre film. Could it have been sabotaged? Well, you can be the
judge and make up your own mind, as we have several articles on this subject
coming up on Tampa Bay Film!
Regarding the collaborations, the Tampa Film Revolution collaborative
independent filmmaking workshops will come after the production of Quiet
Places, however, and this film will not be produced through the workshop
program. That means that it won’t be available until 2017 at the
earliest.
Rumors have it that the story for Quiet Places has been done for some
time, and that it is an original story which has never been done in any
independent film, especially in Tampa Bay.
