The unauthorized review of the Tampa Film Review monthly film festival By C. A. Passinault
Review Pending
The Tampa
Film Review Film Festival Event Scorecard
2009
Please note that a score of 5 is average.
Concept (1-10):
6
+1 improvement from previous score!
Moving it to the Italian Club and putting more effort into the lone 2009
Tampa Film Review finale helped.
Venue
(1-10): 9
+1 improvement from previous score!
The Italian Club is a great venue, with lots of space, and you don't have
to croos 7th avenue from the parking garage to get to it. This is the
peak of The Tampa Film Review and its game of venue musical chairs. Question:
What did they do with all of their chairs after they ended The Tampa Film
Review?
Vendors
(1-10): 1
Same as previous score.
Still no vendors. What is this, and undergroind film festival?
Organization
(1-10): 7
+2 improvement from previous score!
With this last, and final, Tampa Film Review film festival, it finally
gets some organization. Way too little, too late, however, to save it.
Did the organizers simply give up?
Entertainment
(1-10): 9
+4 improvement from previous score!
IThe programming was exceptionally good for a Tampa Film Review, as they
showed all of the best films from the five year run of the monthly film
festival series. Our favorite? To Live Is To Die by Chris Woods. There
was also a lot of people in attendance.
Attendance
(1-10): 8
+4 improvement from previous score!
Record setting attendance, as many who showed up had no idea that The
Tampa Film Review even existed before, and there was a lot of coverage
preceding this film festival. Question: Where were all of the people who
knew about The Tampa Film Review over the years, when the film festival
needed them?
Features
(1-10): 8
+4 improvement from previous score!
The short films were the best reviewed from the five year history of The
Tampa Film Review. Good showing of some must-see short films. They finally
cut out the crappy films. This is how The Tampa Film Review should have
been all along!
Admission Value
(1-10): 7
+3 improvement from previous score!
Worth going to this time.
Overall Event Score
(1-10): 7
+2 improvement from previous score!
Finally, what The Tampa Film Review should have been. The film festival
finally limped to its potential, although there are still some areas that
could have used improvement.
