The FINAL Tampa Film Review (TFR) on Friday, January 9, from 8 – 10 p.m. at the Italian Club, 1731 East Seventh Ave. The event is FREE and OPEN to the public. The final TFR will showcase some of the BEST short films made in Tampa Bay that have been shown since the TFR’s inception in January 2004.
The Italian Club invites everyone to join them at their weekly happy hour prior to the TFR. Happy hour begins at 6 p.m., and features complimentary food and drink specials.
Every month for the past five years, the Tampa Film Review has showcased films produced by Tampa filmmakers. The fact that TFR has been able to fill so many months of programming with locally produced films is a testament to the talent in the Tampa Bay area. The Gasparilla International Film Festival and the Tampa Film Institute have long admired and respected the tireless work of the Guzzo Brothers and TFR. The Film Review will be missed by us and the 100’s of monthly attendees that came to see the latest that local production had to offer.
January Lineup:
Gunn Highway by Stefan Abbott (Vino-Figueroa) – Looks can be deceiving. Just because someone looks one way on the outside, doesn’t mean they look the same on the inside.
To Live Is To Die by Chris Woods: A group of college students are asked to share non-fictional stories in the writing class. Strangely enough the authors fall victim to their own tales.
Tale of Two Meagans by Fred Zara: Confident science major Mark Jarvis has never encountered a problem he couldn’t solve through cool-headed analysis. But when he falls head-over-heels in love with two women of equal-but-opposite appeal, the cocky whiz kid finds himself faced with the impossible task of having to choose just one.
Mexican Sky by Ken Collins: A mouthy career criminal takes a sheriff and his deputy hostage in their own squad car in a desperate attempt to flee across the Mexican border.
Time & Again by Todd Thompson: Steve Peters has found a way to control time, but how can he cheat death if fate has a mind of his own?
The Last One by Garrett Brown: Stop-motion claymation about a slacker who gets into in a horrific car crash and wakes to a surreal world where all perception is skewed.
