Sunday, August 24, 2014 - Tampa Bay Film News Post by Editor C. A. Passinault
Online film festival and reviews are imminent.
We are working on
getting the online film festival, with its initial wave of 16 independent
films, online, with at least four films, including the reviews for those
films, added every week until we have a critical mass of well over 100
films showing, which will happen sometime in early 2015, at the latest.
Every film showing will be reviewed, too, so expect a massive review section
on this site, with some reviews being larger than others (most will be
a page or two, but some of the critical ones will easily top 30 pages).
We are working toward having over 96 independent films playing on our
online film festival, and the reviews for all of them published in our
review section, by the end of 2014! Over 96 films and film reviews!
Added films will be added with their reviews immediately published on
our site. Except for now, with the first 16 films. Those will not be immediately
reviewed, as we do not have the time at the moment to give those reviews
the respect and the attention that they deserve, and it may take a week
or two to get those reviews up; when those reviews are done, we will commence
adding new films to the online film festival and their reviews to our
independent film review section.
The initial 16 films will populate out “featured film” section,
accessible from our thumbnails above, which means that they all have to
be strong, good quality films, so expect those reviews to be good. Expect
several films from Ken Barr, as well as classics such as “Spaventare”
and “White Lie” (there was a time when Chris Woods was one
of the best independent filmmakers in the Tampa Bay area. Now, not so
much, because it is our opinion that he has sold out and is following
the crass and trashy tastes of a wannabe filmmaker who is using him to
make trash films. We will celebrate the filmmaker that Woods used to be,
and hope that he sees the light one day and resumes making independent
films worth our time and respect; he is not beyond redemption); regarding
Spaventare and White Lie, we have figured out a way to republish them
on the online film festival, despite the attempts of the filmmaker to
take them down from the Internet, and the support pages and reviews for
those films will remain on this web site regardless of what happens to
the online versions of those films in the future.
Getting our online film festival online and up to speed in 2014 is very
important, especially knowing how successful and effective that it was
in the past. Besides, we want to be able to give ourselves a good review
for the online film festival for 2014, as we will be reviewing ourselves,
too, because we are the only ones who can do it best (others are welcome
to review us, too, as long as it is a review and not some petty attack,
or slander, which seems to the most that the opposition can try to use
against us, which is ineffective and backfires, but which they are too
stupid to realize).
In 2015, we intend for our online film festival to have several hundred
films and reviews online, as the new format of the online film festival
supports an unlimited number of films and reviews (if any filmmaker takes
their film offline, we will keep the film support file page and the review
online, which will pressure them to put their film back up because the
top search results for their film will lead here, and people will be mad
at them for not having their film available. We even have an indie film
graveyard channel developed specifically to address this issue, as we
are only responsible for content on this site, and refuse to allow the
actions of others to cripple our content. This is the issue which prevented
older versions of our online film festival from exceeding 120 films, and
it is no longer an issue. We will have over 500 films and their reviews
on our site by 2017, whether people like it or not. Yes, we have some
very serious long range plans, as well as an agenda!). In the past, it
was difficult to find independent films online. Now, the Internet is flooded
with them, and it will make this latest online film festival so much easier
to update with new and exciting independent films to watch and to read/
learn about!
We have a lot of film festival reviews going up now, too, including the
ones for Halloween Horror Picture Show 2013, Fandomonium in Tampa Bay,
and Rise of the Dead. The archived film festival reviews which we published
years ago and took down two years ago to clear the content from the Internet
are now being edited, expanded on, and republished, so they will be all
be online by the end of September. Some reviews, such as the one for the
2008 Tampa Film Review monthly film festival, are going to be rewritten.
Speaking of the Tampa Film Review and its earlier incarnation, the Coffeehouse
Film Review, we are also building two huge web sites to serve as the official
source of information about them, at TampaFilmReview Com and CoffeehouseFilmReview.Com,
in addition to the massive amount of information published on this site
about them. People will learn the facts, understand our opinion and the
points that we make, and will make up their own mind about these “historic”
film festivals. After all, history is written by the victors, and we won
all of that. Just call us Karma.
Regarding our archives, we are now sitting on a stockpile of over 800
pages of content which can now be republished, and quickly added to the
site. There is a reason that we took down our old sites and their content,
and this is why. We will now benefit immediately from over 8 years of
work.
Then we have a mountain of independent film DVD’s, mostly features,
that we have to go through and review. We are going to try to do one of
those a week, starting in another week.
Once we are up to speed, there will be so many reviews going up on this
site that some of you will start calling us the independent film review
site. There is nothing wrong with that, as first we must identify the
issues and the strengths of independent film in Tampa Bay before we can
work together to fix what is wrong and build a strong independent film
scene in Tampa Bay, and then, eventually, the first community of independent
filmmakers and supporting professionals.
We acquired a bunch of new domain names, too. One such domain name, Tampa
Bay Auditions, will be very important for the support of the independent
film projects that we all need.
This site is about to become very big, very fast, and it will continue
to grow and dominate. It will be unstoppable and impossible to ignore.
We are the voice of Tampa Bay independent film, and we have a lot to say!
We also are honest about our support of independent film and professional
independent filmmakers.
