ABOUT THE TAMPA BAY FILM ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL
INTRODUCTION - INSTRUCTIONS - TERMS OF USE - DISCLAIMER
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film
Festival, also known as the Tampa Online Film Festival, or simply the
OFF (Online Film Festival) of Tampa Bay Film, is a second generation online
film festival by the Tampa Bay Film Tampa indie film industry resource
site, replacing the immensely successful first generation online film
festival built into the Tampa Bay Film site.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is a stand-alone Tampa indie film
marketing and promotional web site designed to be highly interconnected
with the original Tampa Bay Film web site and is symbiotic with Tampa
Bay Film. The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival site is also designed
to support and interconnect with the Tampa Film Showcase Tampa film festival
web site and the Tampa Film Showcase monthly Film Festival and Networking
Event series. It equally supports the annual, expanded version of the
Tampa Film Showcase Tampa film festival. Some specifics of this support
will be revealed at a later date and on a need-to-know basis, as they
are classified trade secrets.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is based on an updated, and often
brand new, format from the original first generation online film festival.
The format has been refined, and the new, second generation Tampa Bay
Film Online Film Festival stand-alone web site that you are now on utilizes
the latest web site design technology, and is much more refined and is
far more effective than the original online film festival. We have improved
upon what has worked, and have discarded what did not. Everyone using
this web site benefits from our experience.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival has an emphasis on Tampa indie
films, and this online film festival gives Tampa indie films priority.
We also show indie films from elsewhere in the United States and the World
when Tampa indie films are not available to inspire Tampa filmmakers and
to maintain a variety of indie films on our online film festival.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival does not currently host indie
film files directly. Our online film festival is designed to access online
films hosted elsewhere through embed codes. Because of this strategy,
our online film festival has low Internet bandwidth and overhead business-wise,
allowing this service to be offered for free and with maximum up-time.
Because the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival does not directly control
the hosting of the films playing on this web site, we have resources to
report problems with the playback of films and a comprehensive help resource.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is not responsible for films which
will not play, and some films may not be available if the hoisting server
is having difficulty or the film content owner removes the film from the
hosting account.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is compatible with a variety of
flash-based online video services. The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival
has been optimized to be most compatible with video files hosted on Youtube,
Revver, and Google Video.
If you wish to show your indie film on the Tampa Bay Film Online Film
Festival, you must make your film available with public embed codes. We
are unable to show films which do not have embed codes.
All films playing on our online film festival are subject to reviews and
opinions about them to be published. Expanded reviews would be published
on the Tampa Bay Film web site and linked to them from the Tampa Bay Film
Online Film Festival, with a link back to the film from the review on
Tampa Bay Film for the convenience of the viewer.
For 2009, The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival will continue to play
indie films hosted on other servers, and all indie films on our online
film festival will be added and maintained manually by our web team. This
works well, but this site has been designed from scratch to be expandable,
and it is not intended to always operate this way.
In the future, the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival will be user-updated,
and user account holders, being indie filmmakers, will be able to upload
and maintain their films on our web site. The first user uploads will
require embed codes and the indie filmmaker to host their film online
elsewhere as it is now, but eventually we will expand this site with a
new hosting server and a flash-based template format exclusive to the
Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival. Eventually, we will host indie films
directly on this site. That, however, is the future. Now, in the present,
the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is the best online film festival
in the Tampa indie film and the Florida indie film markets.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is the official online film festival
of Tampa indie film production company Dream Nine Studios, who we are
affiliated with, and several other creative, professional Tampa indie
film production studios. We are excited to be the first choice of many
of Tampa's top filmmaking talent to show their indie films and to help
market the best feature films produced in the Tampa Bay market.
The films of Dream Nine Studios, which we anticipate to be the very best
groundbreaking Tampa indie films, will be exclusively shown on the Tampa
Bay Film Online Film Festival and at the Tampa Film Showcase Tampa film
festivals. Our indie film showcases and Tampa film festivals are designed
to be the most effective, and the most professional, platform to show
indie films to the world. We are the professional film festival alternative
to everything else out there, and it is our intention to be the absolute
best way to show and market films in the Tampa Bay indie film market.
We are here to assist Tampa indie film professionals and to help a professional
Tampa indie film community to thrive and grow. The future of Tampa indie
films begins now.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is a Raptor 3 Class web site by
Tampa advertising agency Eos MediaArts. The principle designer and webmaster
is Tampa entertainment and production polymath C. A. Passinault. C. A.
Passinault is also the director of this online film festival and Tampa
Bay Film.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival launched, and became fully operational,
in October 2008. The original Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival, which
is a part of the original Tampa Bay Film web site, is now officially retired,
although that online film festival directories and files will be maintained
for archive purposes. All Tampa Bay Film online film festival controls,
menus, and links have been redirected to the new Tampa Bay Film Online
Film Festival. As a result, we had heavy Internet traffic and lots of
site visitors / indie film viewers as soon as we launched, as Tampa Bay
Film is currently the top Tampa indie film web site with the highest Internet
traffic in the Tampa indie film industry.
We are the best Florida online film festival, and we will prove it to
you. We hope that the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is a useful
tool for your career as a filmmaker, and that views will appreciate the
variety of indie films playing here on our online film festival.
Enjoy!

Tampa Film Festivals will also cover other Tampa film festivals, referencing Tampa film festival reviews on Tampa Film Review), Tampa Film Community, and Tampa Film Conference. In the near future, all of the eight main Tampa Bay Film sites will share the same general layout and design, and will be highly interconnected so that visitors can easily move between the sites, as if it were a single, huge site!
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival is affiliated with, endorses, and fully supports the Tampa Bay Film web site, The Tampa Film Showcase Monthly Film Festival and Networking Event, Tampa stage production company Eventi Stage (a Passinault Entertainment Group company), Tampa event planning company Eventi Events (a Passinault Entertainment Group company), Tampa indie film production, video game development, and music label company Dream Nine Studios (a Passinault Entertainment Group company), Tampa advertising agency Eos MediaArts (a Passinault Industries LLC company), Tampa photography and design services company Aurora PhotoArts Tampa Photography and Design (a Passinault Industries LLC company), Tampa Casting (a Passinault Industries LLC company), and our sister sites.
