TAMPA FILM SHOWCASE NEWS

NEWS 12/10/10 - Tampa Film Showcase Debut TBA.

We realize that this has been an ongoing issue of delay after delay after delay for five years now, but due to some things that need to be done, the debut of the Tampa Film Showcase is now on hold, and will be announced in the twelve weeks leading up to the start of this film festival series. It will happen, and once it debuts, it will continue to happen, consistently, every month. For now, however, we have the luxury of holding off a little longer, until economic and support conditions are right. With a lot of work being done with our photography and event planning companies, the requirement that Eventi Stage, which will be producing all of the film festivals, have non-profit status, and the danger of a double-dip recession, this delay is preferred. Could we have made it on time? Certainly, but support infrastructure would have been strained. We now have time to develop the "software", you could call it. Once again, sorry about the delay, but it will be worth it. This will be the last delay, too, as we will not be setting any more dates until the film festival series is about to launch. In 2011, expect work on indie films and underground film festivals, as well as the development of additional support resources, such as security. What are we thinking? A clue: Offset +1.


NEWS 11/27/10 - Tampa Film Showcase Still On Schedule For January 2012.

Everything is on schedule for a planned January 2012 debut of the Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series, providing that the Reverence Film Festival can be done on-schedule in the fall of 2011 (which also depends upon a series of short films to be completed by Dream Nine Studios on time, by summer 2011, with the Reverence short film absolutely critical for that theme film festival, as it is a cornerstone of it). Once the Tampa Film Showcase is underway, it will take, ideally, an annual run of 12 Tampa Film Showcase film festival events to lead up to the debut of the Frontier Film Festival in January 2013. IF, and we repeat, IF the Reverence short film is not done in time to make the Reverence Film Festival possible by the fall of 2011, and this results in a delay of the start of the Tampa Film Showcase (and we do not have enough months for at least 9 Tampa Film Showcase film festival events, which gives us a 12 to 16 week window to meet the requirements), the Frontier Film Festival would miss its January 2013 debut. Since the Frontier Film Festival is an annual film festival which is optimized to run in January, this would cause the debut to slip from January 2013 to January 2014 (For reasons that we cannot publish here, this would likely create a paradox for the Tampa Film Showcase's ability to procure quality independent films for our presentations, as far as the first year. Again, details cannot be published here for security reasons, although it can be said that the relationship between the Tampa Film Showcase and the Frontier Film Festival is two way, and not simply a lead-in from the Tampa Film Showcase to the larger Frontier Film Festival). In the unlikely situation that this happens, the debut of the Tampa Film Conference would also slip from Spring 2013 to Spring 2014; as you can see, the schedule of one thing directly influences another. So far, everything is on schedule, however.


NEWS 09/05/10 - Annual Film Festival Named; Some Inter-Festival Connections Revealed.

The main annual film festival which the Tampa Film Showcase leads into was finally named today. It will be the Frontier Film Festival, and it is designed to be a "Super" film festival which will be superior to every large, annual film festival in Florida, as well as every film festival in the primary Tampa Bay market. The Tampa Film Showcase will do a lot of the leg work, and a lot of lead-in marketing and branding, but the Frontier Film Festival will be the main Tampa Bay Film and Eventi Stage film festival; the core. Frontier Pop, which is our new web site and the core marketing lead-in site for all of our properties, will be a primary sponsor of every film festival and other types of events, as well as, obviously, the Frontier Film Festival. The Frontier Film Festival is a descendant of the original specifications and format for the 2003 advanced film festival, the Iris Film Festival, which is now cancelled. The Frontier Film Festival is expected to be the dominant Tampa film festival, promptly defeating other annual film festivals, and unlike the competition, it will focus on one dedicated venue and a less confusing schedule.


NEWS 05/22/10 - Still On Schedule. Working On Annual Film Festival.

The Tampa Film Showcase is still on schedule for a January 2012 debut, after which will will be delivering film festival and networking events of consistent quality each month. Since this monthly schedule will lead into a large annual film festival, beginning in January 2013, we need to finalize details of that film festival, which will not directly share the Tampa Film Showcase branding. Our Tampa Film Showcase team is now working on details of the larger annual film festival, which is still unnamed. The annual Tampa film festival will be derived from the original spec of the now-abandoned Iris film festival, which was originally designed in 2003, although it will not have its name, and will be primarily a film festival, instead of a three-field exposition like Iris was supposed to be (trivia: The original Iris film festival was a "super film festival" designed to be a Saints and Sinners killer, with the mission to compete with the dominant film festival of the era. This update annual film festival is still classified as a "super" film festival, and will be the first of its kind in the Tampa indie film market. We just hope that the playing field does not change, again, by the time that the film festival debuts).


NEWS 02/27/10 - Schedules Offset One Year

We know that this is sounding like a broken record, where the future never seems to become the present (and, for readers of the Tampa Film Blog, this isn't the freshest news; this was reported on there a while ago - also, if you don't read the Tampa Film Blog, start now. It's awesome, and there is a lot of good information on there!), but all of the schedules of the Tampa Bay Film event and film festivals have been pushed back a year! More work on infrastructure is needed, it seems. This means that the Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series will not debut until January 2012, at the earliest.

January 2012? We know that five years to develop a film festival is a really long time (and, ironically, the length of time that the TFR had its run), but we are taking great care to ensure that the support infrastructure is in place so that the event series is effective for the participants, as well as able to maintain a consistent high quality. It will be worth the wait. Once it begins, too, we don't plan on any pauses to breaks in the monthly schedule. The Tampa Film Showcase will be a solid, reliable film festival and professional networking event series each and every month.

In comparison, the large annual film festival which the Tampa Film Showcase will tie into starting in 2013 (tentative date, and entirely dependent upon the launch date of the Tampa Film Showcase; we need at least 12 Tampa Film Showcase events before the annual film festival can be done), began development in 2003! That's a 10 year development cycle! The annual film festival was originally designed, back in 2003, as an advanced film festival to compete against, and eliminate, film festivals such as the "Saints and Sinners" film festival, which ended six years ago. It's evolved, and it now has a new mission.

Thank you for your patience. Until then, the Tampa film scene always has our Tampa Bay Film online film festival (which is dominating everything, including all of the film festival events in Florida, incidentally), good film festivals like the Sunscreen Film Festival, and good networking events such as the Tampa film network. On the subject of the Tampa film network, it's a good thing, and we are making plans to support it even after the Tampa Film Showcase begins; Tampa Bay is large enough for two indie film networking groups, and will probably need it.


NEWS 12/12/09 - Tampa Film Festivals site about to go online

Seven of the eight Tampa Bay Film sites are now up to spec, with one of the most important sites to the Tampa Film Showcase, Tampa Film Festivals, the last one which is needed to complete the Tampa Bay Film meta-site. Tampa Film Festivals is critical for the Tampa Film Showcase because it will be a marketing and branding web site for all of the Tampa Bay Film film festival properties. Because it is the designated backbone film festival for all of the Tampa Bay Film film festivals, and it ties into them all (with a run of a dozen film festival events a year, the Tampa Film Showcase should be the backbone film festival, because it will have the most exposure; the perfect lead-in for the others. This is especially true when you consider the networking facet of each Tampa Film Showcase event), the Tampa Film Showcase is the only film festival property with its own stand-alone web site and domain name. All of the other film festivals, while each will have their own web site, will be operated, and marketed, under the TampaFilmFestivals.Com, which will also be a lead-in web site for the Tampa Film Showcase.

Competing Tampa film festivals are going to find competing against this level of marketing firepower to be close to impossible. Tampa Bay Film is putting serious work into supporting infrastructure and resources, along with advanced, and proven, business tactics. We expect to steamroll the competition, which is good for Tampa indie film, especially since we have the best interests of Tampa filmmakers, and Tampa filmmaking, in mind.

By 2012, Tampa Bay Film, Eventi Stage, and Eventi Events will have controlling interest in the Tampa film festival market, ensuring that the dominant Tampa film festivals will support Tampa filmmakers, and to help advance the Tampa indie film industry into relevance within the independent film industry, as well as a position of leadership in indie film.

Hollywood East will only happen if Tampa filmmakers work together to make it happen. Tampa filmmakers should not help parties who do not really have their best interests in mind to attract their competition to the Tampa Bay market. That is not the future. What Tampa Bay Film is working hard on, is the future.


NEWS 11/12/09 - Super Raptor upgrade applied to Tampa Film Showcase site

The Super Raptor Class site upgrade was applied to the Tampa Film Showcase site this morning, adding a new navigation menu on the right, where the ads used to be. Navigation of the Tampa Film Showcase site sections remains on the left menu, and navigation between the eight Tampa Bay Film sites, which this site is a part of, and which make up one huge meta-site for Tampa Bay Film, is on the right. One click of a mouse can navigate to any of the eight sites, and another two click can get you anywhere that you want to go within any site. This massive online resource, and infrastructure, is the foundation for what is to come, especially with the Tampa Film Showcase.

Currently, half of the Tampa Bay Film sites are Super Raptor Class sites, and the network is effectively half up. The group of eight sites should be synched up, and interlinked, to Super Raptor Class standards within a month. After all of the Tampa Bay Film sites are up to spec, they will see a drop in updates for a while while they go into standby mode, as other support projects will need to be worked on. They will reawaken, and begin their agenda, sometime in 2010.


NEWS 10/21/09 - Tampa Film Showcase venue selection in progress

We are looking at a venue now which would be perfect for the Tampa Film Showcase, which is scheduled to debut on January 14, 2011. The venue is also large enough to host larger annual film festivals.

In other new, this Tampa Film Showcase web site is about to be upgraded. The Super Raptor Class format upgrade will carry us until our film festival series debuts in just over a year.


NEWS 10/08/09 - Tampa Film Showcase development continues

Development of the delayed Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series continues, and is an ongoing process. This week, two more cool features were added to the format, without adding an additional strain to resources, or adding to our overhead. The Tampa Film Showcase event design was also modified to incorporate, and support, the new breed of underground film festivals on the way by Tampa Bay Film and Eventi Stage.

As of today, too, it is now official: Eventi Events will not be producing the Tampa Film Showcase, or any other Tampa Bay Film film festival property. Tampa film festivals and indie film events will be produced, and administered, by Eventi Stage. The official Eventi Stage web site is still in the works, while Eventi Events has been online for years. The upcoming Eventi Stage web site will incorporate heavy support for its film festival properties and indie film events.

In 2010, Tampa Bay Film will start out the new year with a series of underground film festivals in the Tampa Bay area. In the fall of 2010, Tampa Bay Film and Eventi Stage will produce a single Tampa film festival event, the Reverence Film Festival. The Reverence Film Festival will be a new type of film festival, and will be for a single day at a single venue. A horror and exploitation film festival, Reverence will set the stage, also, for the debut of the Tampa Film Showcase. Heavy promotion of our monthly film festival and professional networking event series will begin early in 2010, and then kicking into high gear at the Reverence Film Festival.

At this time, the debut of the Tampa Film Showcase is set for January, 2011, and its schedule is timed to springboard the film festival off of Reverence. The Tampa Film Showcase, one it debuts, will regularly operate a series of aggressive tactics designed to market the monthly event and to expand the audience. We intend for the Tampa Film Showcase to set standards on what a film festival should be, and can be. The Tampa Film Showcase will be a scrappy, sophisticated little film festival, and will be competing against the largest Tampa film festivals. Although it is a monthly film festival, the Tampa Film Showcase will give even the largest Tampa film festivals serious, major competition (especially when we demonstrate to their sponsors that we offer an investment of much greater potential, and that investing in us is smarter, and cost-effective). Although the Tampa Film Showcase will lead into a larger annual Tampa film festival property which is directly affiliated (still without a name, and slated for a debut of January 2012), the monthly film festival may have two configurations. We are looking into the possibility that, four times a year, every three months, that we will have an extended Tampa Film Showcase which will show feature-length films instead of the usual shorts. We are only mentioning it here, and right now, however, because we are not sure if we will do this, as there could be a possible conflict with one of the base directives of the event format. Another factor to consider is the final format of the annual film festival, which will tie into the Tampa Film Showcase.

We will announce more, soon.


NEWS 03/21/09 - Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series in 2011?

Work on the Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series is proceeding, but we are waiting for support infrastructure to be ready, and are in need of some special Tampa indie films to be completed. The good news is that this will give us time to perfect some details. In December 2008, the Tampa Film Showcase web site was given a much-needed overhaul, and was retrofitted with a new Raptor Class site, with advanced Raptor 3 specifications, so that this site would be fully compatible with both Tampa Bay Film and the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival web sites, which the Tampa Film Showcase web site is interconnected with. Production work for the the Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series changed hands, too, from Eventi Events to Eventi Stage (currently, the Eventi Stage web site is being built, and should be operational in spring, 2009). There are other changes, too. The Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series branding will now only be used for the monthly Tampa film festival series, and the annual Tampa film festival version will be enhanced and given an entirely different branding name. The Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series will still feed into this new annual film festival, and formatting already decided will not change too much, although more features will be added to the annual Tampa film festival, which will make it a little different than the Tampa Film Showcase. The annual Tampa film festival, name TBA, will be ONE of THREE different Tampa film festival properties of Eventi Stage and Tampa Bay Film. All three Tampa film festival properties, which will be series, will all be interconnected with each other and will fully support the others. The Tampa Film Showcase will be the only monthly Tampa film festival, and the others will be annual Tampa film festivals held only once a year (the annual Tampa film festival which the Tampa Film Showcase directly feeds into will be early in the year, from January to March. The other Tampa film festival, a more stand-alone property, will be in the fall, between September and November. Dates are not locked yet because they still have to be determined). There are rumors of a fourth Tampa film festival property in development, and if it exists, it will be a highly secret project. If it exists, the rumors indicate that it will be a small Tampa film festival. This fourth Tampa film festival property may be administered and produced by Eventi Events, while the other three would be by Eventi Stage (there are legal and licensing reasons for the two companies, and why certain Tampa film festival properties would be handled by certain companies, which are much to extensive to explore here).

Currently, The Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series would run for eleven Tampa film festival events annually after it debuts. The twelfth month would be used for the larger annual Tampa film festival which the Tampa Film Showcase will directly feed into. It is still undecided whether or not this annual schedule would be scaled back to ten Tampa Film Showcase film festival events per year to accommodate the other annual Tampa film festival property, since the same event planning staff would work each film festival property, and it may be too much to do two film festivals in a month. At this time, the Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series is tentatively scheduled to debut in January, 2011, following the debut of the stand-alone annual Tampa film festival property in the fall of 2010 (this would be the third annual film festival property, and not the other annual Tampa film festival property which the Tampa Film Showcase directly feeds into- please note the time frame of the fall season).

There are more dynamics to all of this, but they are classified as trade secrets, and cannot be disclosed at this time. Even the Tampa Film Showcase has classified components, and the trade secrets will not be revealed on this web sites or published until after the film festival series debuts. Even then, some details will remain secrets (especially if that mysterious, rumored fourth Tampa film festival property exists).


NEWS 09/15/08 - Tampa Film Showcase Next Year.

Both the annual and the monthly versions of the Tampa Film Showcase Tampa Film Festival are tentatively scheduled to debut next year. We've been working on some truly revolutionary features and groundbreaking technology. It is our intention to take our time and to do this right, and we will launch this when we are ready. When the Tampa Film Showcase finally debuts and begins regular monthly Tampa film festivals, we will set a high standard which will be several years ahead of anything ever done in the Tampa indie film market in every way. Although we expect others to struggle to compete and to attempt to steal from us and to copy us, this will backfire for their credibility because everyone will know that we are the new standard in Tampa Film Festivals. Everyone will know the true source os the ideas that they steal.

Please be patient. The Tampa indie film market only has to put up with the amateur Tampa indie film clique a little while longer. The professionals are coming, and we will forever change and revolutionize the Tampa indie film market while taking business away from the amateurs. Good things are coming for those who wait for them and deserve those good things.


NEWS 05/07/08 - Film Festival Format Finalized.

Yesterday, the format of the monthly and the annual versions of the Tampa Film Showcase was finalized. It has been decided to keep the branding for both event packages the same, but with subtitles added. The Tampa Film Showcase will be developed as an annual film festival, and this will benefit the monthly series. The monthly film festival series will be the same as the annual film festival, except it will be scaled back. Keep in mind that scaled back does not mean that features will be stripped out, and that the monthly series will not be a substandard version of the large annual festival. Both versions will have identical formatting, with a few minor differences. There will be 11 monthly film festivals and 1 annual film festival per year. The annual Tampa Film Showcase film festival will be an extended version showing feature-length films instead of the short films shown at the monthly version. Both versions will have voting and awards ceremonies, although the annual version will be the only one with awards trophies. Both versions will include networking and some other advanced features which we cannot disclose yet. As for pricing, that has not been finalized yet, although the monthly film festivals will have free admission. Submission prices? Stay tuned. The annual film festival may have a fee to submit films. The monthly film festivals, which do not show feature films and only show shorts, may not. Keep in mind that the formats would only differ in scale, although the pricing and other details with both formats do make the planning phase a bit more complex.

The Tampa Film Showcase will not go the elitist route. We have no interest in attracting Hollywood and so-called "celebrities" to the Tampa Bay area. We have no interest in pretension and charging high rates for submission and admission, and one reason that other film festivals charge too much is because of the bloated overhead of paying celebrities to headline their events, and because they spread their events over several days and several venues. The Hollywood and celebrity angle would only serve to upstage the independent filmmakers and talent involved, and we would like to focus on them instead. We would also like to focus on attracting distributors and introducing film marketing, distribution, and sales solutions for the indie filmmaking community. We don't want to be like the other film festivals. We're different. We are more effective. We aspire to make a difference, and will do it without the shady politics and the pretension. Many of the people currently involved with film festivals and the Tampa indie film scene will not be invited, and it is because we have determined that they are not good for the progress of indie film in the Tampa Bay region. Sure, they may claim charity, that they are working to build a productive indie film community, and that they only want to help, but words are cheap. We only have to look at their track record and what they are really doing, and their hidden motivation, and it become obvious that they are the reason that there is no professional Tampa indie film community and that there has been little progress over the years. We will not allow the self-serving, self-proclaimed indie film people to become involved with us. It is time for change. It is time for real professionals to get involved. The party is over, and so are the shady, self-serving politics. They can do their indie film workshops and low-rent amateur film festivals, and become forgotten relics of the dark age of the Tampa indie film scene. We are going to make a difference and inspire change. It is time to get serious!

Currently, it is planned to kick off the Tampa Film Showcase with the annual film festival in late 2008 or early 2009. Since the annual film festival requires a bit of a lead time, the only reason that it would be held in 2009 would be because of that lead time. The film festival series and the annual film festival would be ready to go in the fall of 2008.


NEWS 04/01/08 - Tampa Film Showcase Venue Selected?

Rumor has it that the venue for the Tampa Film Showcase is about to be selected. We don't know many details yet, but we are pretty sure that it won't be in Ybor City. Tampa Film Showcase film festival director C. A. Passinault recently confirmed that the schedule would be selected once the venue is locked and the budget is completed. We are hearing once the festival debuts (November 7? September 5? There are pros and cons to both dates, but this is purely speculation on our part), the Tampa film festival series will occur on a Friday evening once a month. Passinault has also announced the selection of an indie film jury and review team, and that the Tampa Film Showcase will directly lead into a larger annual film festival (title and format to be announced), and that both film festivals will be directly affiliated if the annual festival is not an outright larger version of the Tampa Film Showcase.

How does the Tampa Film Showcase tie in with the Tampa Bay Film web site? We know, but it is too early to tell. We can only say that the details are only one incredible part of the brilliant package. New standards will be set in the Tampa indie film community, a different set of (higher) expectations will emerge, and once the smart professionals, which would be us, start making a difference, everything will change. Think you know indie film and how to work indie film? Think again. We are going to show you better things and some radical, and effective, ideas. It's time to leave what's out there now in the ghetto. We all need to step up to a professional level where Tampa indie film really does inspire respect!


NEWS 01/16/08 - Event Director C. A. Passinault Confirms Tampa Film Festival Series.

Tampa Film Showcase film festival director C. A. Passinault today confirmed the ongoing development of the film festival and professional networking series, stating that the Tampa Film Showcase would debut in late 2008. Passinault indicated that the Tampa Film Showcase is designed to be the new standard in the Tampa Bay market, and that the Tampa Film Showcase, which will be held monthly, is designed to compete with the larger annual film festivals as well as smaller monthly and quarterly held film festivals.
“The Tampa Bay market needs this.” Passinault stated, “We are convinced that there is a strong demand for a professional film festival series in the Tampa Bay market, and it is our intention to set the standard and become leaders in the Tampa indie film community, as well as assist the formation of a professional indie film community. Currently, there is no professional indie film community in Tampa Bay, and this is going to change.”
Passinault cited the overwhelming success of the Tampa Bay Film web site and the Tampa Bay Film online film festival as an indicator of what was to come. He pointed out the Tampa Bay Film was designed from it’s conception to work with the Tampa Film Showcase film festival series, and that both productions would work together.
More will be announced as it become available.
