two tampa teams in top ten
tampafilmfanIf you missed the cover of last week’s tbt* (*Tampa Bay Times), run, don’t walk, to your nearest newsstand and pick one up. tbt* profiled two filmmaking teams from the Tampa Bay area who recently entered the “Collaboration…A Short Film Contest” organized by the Entertainment Industry Incubator.
Team Persons (Jen Persons, Jon Wolding, Ben Waller, Aron Elston and Brandon Windish) created the film Dash. Deep 6 (Jack Foster, Megan Brown, Victoria Jorgensen, Eddy Favara and Angela Ellis) named their film Persuasion.
Both teams made it to the finalists’ round (although it appears that Deep 6 has been renamed Team Brown, M.). Winners will be chosen on January 14. Good luck to both teams!
