REVIEW/
FILM FESTIVALS:
Halloween Horror
Picture Show 2013 Film Festival. -
01/22/15/1102
After a five year hiatus, Rick Danford finally resurrects
the legendary Halloween Horror Picture Show, and the film festival is
set to screen on September 28, 2013. Tampa Bay Film editor C. A. Passinault
literally gets lost finding the out-of-sight venue as he investigates
the beginning of a new chapter. This review, a Tampa Bay Film exclusive,
contains videos, pictures, and, of course, a review of the film festival
event.

This is the official review
section on Tampa Bay Film for film festival reviews.
Although, technically, film festivals such as the Gasparilla International
Film Festival (GIFF) and the Sunscreen Film Festival ARE film festivals,
we do not feel that they support independent film as much as they should,
and, as such, do not classify them as true independent film festivals.
It is our opinion that they serve to market the Tampa Bay area for outside
productions to make movies here, and/ or to sell overpriced filmmaking
workshops which have little relevance and value to independent filmmakers,
respectively. It is our opinion that they are pretentious, overpriced,
arrogant movie premiers which try too hard to “be like a Hollywood
red carpet event or premier”, and we think that they are jokes which
are ultimately ineffective to independent filmmakers. As a result, we
are not very inspired to attend those film festivals or to spend a lot
of time reviewing them, although we do have opinions and will continue
to be critical of them, as all independent filmmakers should (We are considering
publishing reviews of these film festivals, even if we haven’t or
won’t attend them. If we do, we will admit that we did not attend
them in the reviews, and will write the reviews from research). It is
also our opinion that the people of the independent film scene and the
talent should be ashamed to support these so-called “film festivals”,
if they do, in fact, do so. It is our opinion that these so-called film
festivals should be boycotted and ignored.
You will find reviews here of true independent film festivals, film festival
for independent films and the maverick independent filmmakers behind those
films. These film festivals include, but are not limited to, The Saints
and Sinners film festivals, Horror and Hotties, the Coffeehouse Film Festival,
The Slime Serpent film festival, the roundtable of independent film film
festival, Ladies of the Night, The Halloween Horror Picture Show film
festivals, the Rise of the Dead zombie film festival, Fandomonium in Tampa
Bay, The Sunburn Film Festival underground film festival and peer group
review, The Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival (OFF), The Tampa Bay Film
Showcase monthly film festival and professional networking event series,
The Reverence Film Festival, The Revolution Film Festival, and more. To
a lesser extent, as it is our opinion that they are at the bottom of the
barrel of the definition of independent film festivals, and were deeply
flawed, as well as failures, this also includes the Tampa Film Review
and the Coffeehouse Film Review monthly film festivals.
