Bay Independent Film Thumbnail array linked to new online film festival,
The Connected Film Festival.
Our thumbnail array has been replaced and linked to The
Connected Film Festival, which has just launched.
05/04/25/0808 - Looked at the links on our Thumbnail array to The Connected Film Festival. The links have to be adjusted for SSL. This will be done in the future
01/06/23/0332 - Site
rebranded Tampa Bay Independent Film while remastered Tampa Bay Film site
relaunched.
Tampa Bay Film changed to Tampa Bay independent Film while
original, remastered Tampa Bay Film web site relaunched. This site, although
it had a Tampa Bay Independent Film keyword domain name when it launched,
has been Tampa Bay Film since 2013, when our original online film festival,
despite its success, was taken offline.
10/31/15/0343 - Updated
the warning message.
The right click warning javascript message has been updated
to update the content use license.

10/22/15/0229 - Changed
the legal entitiy on the intellectual property ownership to reduce potential
liability. Finishing reviews to catch up site and preparing to launch
online film festival.
Tampa Bay Film is not a legal entity, as it is a trademarked
intellectual property trade name of this web site. The ownership of this
properties and all content on this web site are currently under C. A.
Passinault, but will soon be transferred to Passinault Industries LLC,
along with Passinault’s business properties.
The reviews that have been in limbo are being finished up this week, which
will catch up the site. Once done, we will work on assembling and re launching
the online film festival, will write reviews to tie in with each of those
films, will write additional reviews for independent films, and will work
on making this web site mobile-friendly.
The next scheduled update, this Fall, will bring the online film festival
online, will get the site as mobile-friendly as possible, and will add
additional reviews.
Other content, such as the old Tampa Film Blog posts, will be updated
and added consistently to the site once it begins to comply with our mobile-friendly
format.
04/02/15/1018 - Put
the online film festival featured film thumbnail array in standby in preparation
for the launch of the new online film festival later this month.
We replaced the thumbnails with a red curtain thumbnail
linking to the our main online film festival section. These will become
image thumbnails for the first 16 films when the online film festival
resumes operations.
01/08/15/1100 - Added
universal legal disclaimer on the footer of all pages.
Updated the template for the entire site with a universal
legal disclaimer defining intellectual property ownership, mainly trademarks,
and a liability waiver. Added main disclaimer and a terms of use links
which will become active once the site updates on the server.
12/31/14/0812 - Updated
content and meta tags for 2015.
Updated information on web site template for 2015, although
updates will not happen until the online film festival is ready to launch
in the coming weeks.
08/05/14/1355 - Finished
Installing Navigation Threads. Content additions can be resumed.
Finally finished installing the Navigation Threads, as
well as the start of the scams section, and updates can finally resume.
Much more needs to be added to the site, however.
07/13/14/2057 - Continuing
work on site.
Still adding navigation threads and content, including
necessary support sections. Changed color of update text, too, for site
continuity (We like, maybe love, blue, but the site was way too blue.
Green was also overdone, and too much like the BBS look of the first Tampa
Bay Film site of 2007).
07/12/14/1600 - Adding
Navigation Thread Menu for Sections. Adding content.
We are bringing the navigation thread menu, which is section
contextual and located below the main menu at the top, and are adding
new content.
06/14/14/1639 - Moved
longer update posts to the news and blog section. Moved some recent, shorter
posts back to the main index. Edited site content.
For continuity purposes, so as not to disorientate and
lose our readers, we restored some of our update posts to the main page,
as a lot has been changed on this site without actually updating it on
the server, and now we are flirting with continuity issues in the format.
Change must be gradual on the actual web site (we will archive some of
those posts which were moved back to the front page here for archiving,
eventually). We also moved some of the longer update log posts to the
news and to the blog sections, where they are more relevant, as some of
these posts need to be edited, expanded, and they deserve their own page.
Preparing for full operations, too, we are also reading and editing Tampa
Bay Film site content. We have some incredible content on the way!
06/07/14/1159 - Launched
web site update section. Moved update section from front page to new section.
Adjusted update format. Updated site content and code.
We launched the web site updates section today to support
was is coming to the site, and moved update content from the front page
to here. The old updates section on the front pages will be replaced by
a new addition section, which will be kept small.
Site content has been adjusted and updated, too. We had a lot of reading
to do. This justified the total refresh that we about to do to the site
files on the server.
The next total refresh of the site files will be when we launch the new
online film festival, which should be later this month. Each film will
have a related independent film review in our new review section, which
will have a lot of reviews over the Summer.
05/22/14/0836 - Tampa
Bay Film: Ready For Action.
We just finished a check on Tampa Bay Film and its sites,
which included search engine checks, and we are very happy with the results
and the position that we are in.
Phase one is complete, and Tampa Bay Film and our fleet of new web sites
are armed and ready for action. We can begin regular updates shortly.
Some of the things that we will be working on will be relaunching our
online film festival, which has had a history of setting standards, success,
and dominance, restoring our film blog by republishing its 500+ pages
of content on this site (editing it, enhancing it, and organizing it correctly
this time), and publishing independent film reviews, independent filmmakers
profiles and filmography (see below, at the bottom, for our list), and
other articles. Independent filmmaking tutorials, anecdotes, and filmmaking
articles will be published on Tampa Film Revolution, too, the online publication
of Tampa Bay Film.
Our underground film festivals will begin the Fall of 2014 with the debut
of the Sunburn Film Festival, of which there will be over 6 a year. The
Sunburn Film Festival will succeed where the Tampa Film Review and the
Coffeehouse Film Review film festivals failed.
Phase two will come later in 2014, as we publish several new web sites
to support Tampa Bay Film. These new web sites will be powerful. We will
also develop web sites of domain names which we have in reserve, such
as a new web site for the Tampa Bay Film Commission domain name. We will
develop and deploy advanced new film festival web sites to go after the
big film festivals in the Tampa Bay market, such as Gasparilla (GIFF)
and Sunscreen, which we feel need to be put in their places.
Our film festival web sites, such as the Tampa Bay Film Showcase, the
Reverence Film Festival, and the Revolution Film Festival, will be updated
and maintained, as will our Tampa Bay Film Conference and Tampa Bay Film
Community web sites, even though all of these event and support properties
are on hold, and will probably remain on hold for several more years.
We can wait until the independent film scene in Tampa Bay is ready for
what we have to offer, because, currently, our efforts would be wasted
on what is here. It is not ready.
In the meantime, our online film festival and our underground film festivals
can carry us in the film festival area.
That’s not to say that we will not cover what is out there. There
are some film festivals and events that we will cover, and we will have
to do so to get up to speed to what we will eventually do. Marketing tools
such as Tampa Bay Film cards will be printed in June 2014.
At any rate, we are very happy about how Tampa Bay Film and its sites
are positioned, and were actually laughing about the search results on
what we ran last night. We’ve never been more ready for what is
coming.
03/28/14/1953 - Tampa
Bay Film Back Online.
After a few days offline, and several months with no updates,
Tampa Bay Film is now back online.
We’ve been busy doing work in other industries, two other fronts
in our three front agenda, independent film being the third front, but
a front which is equally important.
A professional independent filmmaking industry in Tampa Bay will be established,
one which all professional independent filmmakers will benefit from, and
independent film here will finally earn the credibility and the respect
that it needs.
We are Tampa Bay Film, and we are the voice of Tampa Bay independent film.
We are going to use that voice, and we will not be ignored.
This said, we are still busy at the moment, and it will be later this
Spring before work can resume work on this site. Work will resume, however,
and this site, as well as our agenda, is very important.
One huge feature that we will be looking forward to is launching our new
online film festival this Summer. This online film festival will directly
tie into our reviews section, too, as well as other relevant sections.
Also this Summer we will begin our film festivals with our flagship underground
film festival, the Sunburn Film Festival. The Sunburn Film Festival is
a small, ongoing underground film festival and peer group review where
invited professionals gather together to watch and review independent
films. These elite film festivals will be private events which can be
mobilized and executed quickly and at little cost. They will be covered
like a traditional film festival, however, making them just as visible
and effective as one, just after they happen.
2014 will be an exciting time as the future of independent film in Tampa
Bay is defined, and will finally begin. - 0328142025

09/29/13/0621 - Tampa
Bay Film Work.
We are currently writing a coverage article about the
Halloween Horror Picture Show film festival, which happened in Northdale
in Tampa yesterday, which was the first film festival supporting independent
filmmakers here in five years, in our opinion. We attended, and it was
refreshing. This coverage will be published later.
The online film festival should be online in October 2013, with its first
group of 16 independent films playing in the online film festival section
and their corresponding reviews published in our reviews section. New
films and reviews will be added regularly. New content, such as articles,
interactive tutorials, tutorials, and tools will also be published, as
well as new content on our film blog.
Tampa Bay Film will be upgraded to a full 3rd Generation talent and industry
resource web site by early 2014, as what is online now is more like a
prototype of a 3rd Generation talent resource web site, and needs more
work done and new tools deployed.
Expect new posts and content on our Tampa Film Revolution web site, too,
as this is long overdue.
Our film festival and film event web sites will be updated soon, which
is needed to support events starting in 2014, which will begin with our
underground film festivals, such as the Sunburn Film Festival and independent
film peer group review events.
The first public film festival produced by Tampa Bay Film is tentatively
scheduled for Fall 2015. This is the Reverence horror film festival and
theme event. The support infrastructure for this new type of film festival
will be complete by the Summer of 2014, along with a new web site. We
will begin accepting independent film submissions for this film festival
in late 2014. Please note that the Reverence Film Festival will NOT be
competing with Danford’s Halloween Horror Picture Show horror film
festival, which is different than what Reverence is (you’ll see.
Both are very different, and have different purposes, and they compliment
each other). Both are needed, and the Reverence Film Festival will specifically
avoid being scheduled on the same weekend as the HHPS, and Reverence will
freely promote it.
We will also be increasing coverage of film festivals, events, and news
in Tampa Bay independent film which others are doing, beginning with an
investment into resources that we will need to do the job at the level,
and the consistency, which is necessary. Yesterday’s coverage was
good, and we had a presence at the film festival, but we could do much
better, and we will by 2014.
09/10/13/0930 - Still tied up with other projects. At the very least, however, we will begin updating and adding Tampa Film Blog posts to the Tampa Bay Film Blog on this site sometime this month, with several posts added per week, starting with the most current and working our way back. The entire 600+ pages of content of the Tampa Film Blog will be online here on this site by early 2014. We will also get the new online film festival and the review section online this Fall, although it now looks like it will be Spring 2014 before we get to over 100 films on the online film festival and over 100 film reviews published in our film review section. It will take time, but it will get done. We certainly have time, with most major Tampa Bay Film projects, the beginning of many, not due for another year. With Lisa's film blog a failure, and no longer online, we can take our time with the blog posts, too, as we no longer have competition in that area. Likewise, we have very little competition in every other area of the Tampa Bay independent film scene, as well, with our opposition largely eliminated as a result of the Tampa indie film war, which began in early 2008, over five years ago. They should have never tried to take on Tampa Bay Film. They lost. We won, and continue to win. The Tampa indie film war is now an ongoing cold war with opposition which is on the level of third world countries, as we no longer have any peer level competition, if we ever did. Still, Passinault is now considering a new round of all-out, cutting-edge attacks on, which is our opinion to be, unethical and unprofessional elements on the Tampa indie film scene, which could last until we clean up the market in 2014 in order to pave the way for what is coming; at the very least, these attacks will test our new tactics and technologies. For more about what we are planning, please check out the August 2013 issue of Frontier Pop. We will also be posting a battle damage assessment of the Tampa Bay independent film scene on Tampa Film Revolution.
08/09/13/1914 - Attached TampaBayFilm.Com marketing and branding domain name, which has been offline and parked for several months, to this site today. This site is now live under that domain name (It was not promoted, and was kept on the down-low, until today, and will be marketed under that domain name. Until today this site's operating domain was a secret). Marketing resumes next month. Due to other web site work, it will be at least a week, at the earliest, before we do any work to this web site, which includes bringing the new online film festival and the review section online. We will also update and publish content from the old Tampa Film Blog on the new Tampa Bay Film Blog this Fall (some out there may have wished for the information to go away, but it will not, and by next year it will be very easy to find through Internet searches). This afternoon, we also renewed five domain names for Tampa Bay Film sites (and there are more than that in total); our investment into the future of independent film in Tampa Bay is strong!
07/24/13/0912 - We are still holding on those updates, due to being hung up on the web site work for Aurora PhotoArts. We will not be able to do any updates until early August at the earliest, but once those updates begin, they will be aggressive. It looks like we will not be making our 100 film playlist by September, as it was planned, but we will get as many films online as possible by then, and expect the number to be around 50. Adding any more than the number that we had planned, which maxed us out in consideration for optimal SEO performance, is simply not possible, because the content has to be crawled and indexed. So, it's actually a good thing that we were delayed, because after the first 16 films and their reviews are online, we will be able to add a more leisurely, and more comprehensive, 4 to 7 films a week. With the other content that we have to add, this is more balanced, and we will not be overloading the search engines. Once we begin, we will be constantly updating, with content added almost daily. We will get there, but it is taking time. We should be rerouting TampaBayFilm.Com to this web site within a week, however, and will easily exceed our 100 film and review goal for the online film festival and the review section, respectively, by later this year. Thank you for your patience!
07/05/13/0820 - Tampa
Bay Film will begin aggressive updates the week of July 14, 2013, or slightly
before, as we have some reviews and blog posts that we have to update
and republish (both our online review site and the Tampa Film Blog have
been down long enough to begin transferring their libraries of content
to our new site, which is right here). Around this time, we will also
reactivate our TampaBayFilm.Com branding and marketing domain name, and
point it here.
Our new online film festival should be online with its initial playlist
of 16 independent films and their reviews on the morning of Sunday, July
21, 2013. Because we are trying to get the online film festival to a playlist
of 100 films by September, with their associated reviews also published
in our independent film review section, we will be adding an average of
2 films and their reviews a day until we reach our goal.
Tampa Bay Film will be our most updated site for several months to come,
as the new site has already been online just over 3 months, and it has
been mostly just sitting here. This will change. Our front page will feature
a giant update log, linking to the latest updates.
We are also going to be resuming the publication of Tampa Film Revolution,
our online publication, which has been on standby for over a year because
we’ve been really busy fixing some web site issues with our other
sites.
Tampa Bay Film business cards and branded merchandise, which includes
bumper stickers, beverage containers, coffee cups, and shirts, will be
available next month, in August. Aggressive promotion of Tampa Bay Film
will begin in September 2013.
06/14/13/0900 - Tampa
Bay Film will be updated soon. Due to other web site projects and obligations,
commencement of regular updates and the re launch of our online film festival
has been delayed.
Our apologies to anyone who is frustrated with the lack of updates, especially
if you have been waiting patiently. It will be worth the wait.
05/11/13/0858 - Regular content publication and heavy updates to Tampa Bay Film will begin next month. This new web site is performing well above expectations. Our voice will not only be heard, but it will be dominant! Instead of taking on the existing market, which is not actually in competition with us (We would if it were, however. They lucked out!), Tampa Bay Film will now pursue a strategy focusing on independent film, of which there are few alternatives currently in the Tampa Bay market. Our first Sunburn Film Festival, Private , invitation-only underground film festivals where a group of professionals and film fans (not that one. She gave up, and she is not objective and critical enough to be invited, anyway!) review independent films, especially locally produced ones, are scheduled to start in August 2013.
05/11/13/0850 - Our new online film festival, launching with 16 independent films, will launch the weekend of May 18, 2013, almost two months after the site launched, and will add at least 4 indie films a week to its play list. Each film will be reviewed in our review section, too. We expect to have at least 76 independent films playing on the online film festival by September 1 (and we will be trying to get at least 100 online by that date, which means that we would have to add 6 films per week, which would bring us to 105 independent films and their reviews by the target date, a 50% increase in publication frequency to offset the almost-two month delay) and their accompanying reviews.
04/16/13/0900 - New Tampa Bay Film Blog post: - Tampa Bay independent film war goes cold. New site performance. Upcoming Tampa Bay Film features.
04/16/13/0900 - Previous Tampa Bay Film Blog post: New Tampa Bay Film Blog Online.
03/23/13/1200 - New Tampa Bay Film site launched under its new Tampa Bay Independent Film operating domain name.
