INTRODUCTION - SUBMIT YOUR FILM - INSTRUCTIONS
TAMPA ONLINE FILM FESTIVAL GENRE CHANNELS
ALL FILMS / ALL CHANNELS - All films in our online film festival are listed, with the latest additions at the top.
SHOWCASE FILMS CHANNEL - The top picks of the films now showing on our online film festival. Listed with scores from us and you, this is more than a contest, and we have special plans for this later this year.
DRAMA FILMS CHANNEL - These films can be done on small budgets, and often make great films when the writing and acting are done well. A director and an editor make or break such films, as pacing is critical.
COMEDY FILMS CHANNEL - Another common type of film done by indie filmmakers, but seldom done right here in Tampa Bay.
ROMANCE FILMS CHANNEL - We'd like to see more of this being done by indie film makers, as the stories are often superior.
HORROR FILMS CHANNEL - A common genre for indie film in Tampa Bay, and a hard one to get right despite all of the work being done.
SCIENCE FICTION FILMS CHANNEL - Not as expensive to do as you might think. Another genre that should be done more, and if the filmmaker experiments with things such as animation, no compromises are needed on small budgets.
ACTION FILMS CHANNEL - A common genre which is not so common with indie filmmaking due to stunt work and extra overhead.
MUSIC VIDEOS CHANNEL - We predicted that these would be the most popular type of indie film produced in Tampa back in 2007. Sure enough, within months it came true.
EXPERIMENTAL FILMS CHANNEL - Indie films which don't quite fit into other categories. With smaller budgets, this genre should be a strength for indie filmmaking and we predict a strong future with filmmakers doing more experiments in film.
INTERVIEWS FILM CHANNEL - Tampa film festival interviews and interviews with Tampa Bay, and Florida, filmakers, indie film professionals, and talent.
DOCUMENTARY FILM CHANNEL - Documentary films, which seem to be popular in the Tampa indie film market. These films will make you think and are good, providing the viewpoints nad interviews are balanced, and they allow the audience to make up their mind instead of leading them to a conclusion.
INDIE
FILM GRAVEYARD CHANNEL - Films which no longer play,
or have technical issues, and need to be fixed at their file hosting site
(Youtube, Vimeo, etc) by the filmmakers. Films may be returned to the
other relevant channels if the issues are resolved and they can be played
again, although they are subject to removal from our featured film section
if they were originally there (the 14 thumbnails arrayed at the top of
the site are our featured films, and they are featured on every page on
this site. It is a privilege and an honor to be featured here, as these
films are our picks for some of the best, most unique, or most interesting
films from the online film festival), never to be featured again, and
the showcase competition score may be reset if they are in the Graveyard
too long, which could keep it from returning to the Showcase Channel until
viewer votes build up its score and return it there. If films cease to
be playable on the online film festival because a filmmaker did something
with the source file, it is sent here on hold to maintain its position
in searches; the filmmakers are given a chance to fix the file, and the
search results which yield a film which will not play should inspire them
to do the right thing. Filmmakers which continue to delete files without
warning, jeopardizing the integrity of our playlist, may be banned from
future submissions, which include submissions to all of the film festival
events of Tampa Bay Film (Including, but not limited to, the Tampa
Film Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event
series, the Frontier
Film Festival, and the Reverence
Film Festival. Banned filmmakers will also not be eligible to participate
with our other Tampa indie film events, which include, but are not limited
to, the Tampa Film Conference,
as well as being a part of the Tampa
Film Community professional Tampa filmmaker, filmmaking, and talent
association.
Please Note: the films in the Graveyard Channel do not play, which is
probably the reason that they are in the Graveyard in the first place,
so please do not try to play them and send us emails indicating that the
films do not work, as these films are not selectable from our general
playlist or other channels! If you are upset that the films will not play,
please find, contact, and complain to the filmmakers, as it is up to them
to fix their films and make them available for you to watch on the Tampa
Bay Film Online Film Festival! FOR
REFERENCE ONLY!
INDIE FILM DUMPSTER - Please excuse the flies and the stench of rotten films, but we have to put out the garbage somewhere. The opposite of our indie film showcase channel, the indie film dumpster channel contains the worst films, and the lowest rated independent films, on the online film festival. Our editors go over the lowest rated, and the worst films, playing on the online film festival, and we choose what goes in the dumpster, although the films are still selectable from the main channel and relevant genre channels (If we get a lot of complaints about a film from our viewers, this will also send a film to the dumpster). For those who wish to learn from the mistakes of other filmmakers, or simply to play for their unintended humor. Please click on the review links, which lead to the relevant review on the Tampa Film Review Tampa Bay Film site, for more on what makes these films suck! You can return to the online film festival and resume watching the film from a link on the review on the review site.
INDIE FILM INDUSTRY TUTORIALS CHANNEL - Tutorials films on indie film production, indie film promotion, and indie film marketing for Tampa filmmakers. A free online indie film workshop and film school for aspiring filmmakers and professional filmmakers to use as a indie film production resource.
THE CHRIS WOODS CHANNEL - An indie film channel celebrating the films of Tampa filmmaker Chris Woods and Icon Film Studios.
THE RICK DANFORD CHANNEL - An indie film channel celebrating the films of Tampa filmmaker Rick Danford, Enigma Films, and Renegade Films.
The Tampa Bay Film Online Film
Festival has indie films organized into genre channels. The most recent
films added are at the top of all listings. Our main Tampa indie film
channel lists all films playing in our online film festival, regardless
of genre.
The Showcase channel is a special one here on the Tampa Bay Film Online
Film Festival. Those who are looking for the best indie films only have
to look at our Showcase, as only the most highly rated films are listed
there. Indie films in our Showcase channel are determined by our editors
and by the scores given by our Tampa online film festival viewers. It
is an ongoing indie film competition where only the best films survive.
The overall score associated with the Showcase indie films are displayed
in our Showcase channel, and the best films are listed first.
To vote for a film so it can be considered for our showcase, click on
the RATE FILM link above the film and send us your score, as well as which
film you are voting on.
Check out the following Tampa indie film channels. We will add more indie
film genre channels as they are needed.
We show all types
of independent film, which are assigned a primary defining genre category
and are organized this way. Types of film shown include, but are not limited
to, the following formats; Live action films, animation, anime, flash
animation, music videos, digital comic, interactive video, and more.
