THE CONNECTED FILM FESTIVAL

REVIEWS

Welcome to the Reviews Section for The Connected Film Festival. We review every film which screens on our online film festival. These reviews and their scores factor in the audience rating that is sent in to us from individual audience viewers to determine if the film is eligible for our indie film showcase channel on this web site.
Independent films screening on our showcase channel are eligible for awards, won every quarter. Each film is up for an award at the end of the quarter after it was added to our showcase channel. If it does not win an award at that time, it then is eligible for an award, which can be awarded later at our discretion, but is also eligible for awards in other quarters. Films that win awards are taken out of the quarterly consideration for awards.
Films that are submitted to us are eligible for awards. Films that we add on our own are not, but may be retroactively considered for awards if the filmmaker contacts us and gives us permission to add the film to our award competition, to be considered at the quarter after the date that permission is granted. All films are in competition and are eligible for awards IF they are submitted by the filmmaker AND they score high enough to be added to our showcase channel.
If a film is added by us and it qualifies to be in the showcase channel, it is not eligible for any award unless the filmmaker contacts us and gives us permission.
Our competition and awards are not raffles or any kind of contest not permitted by law. We do not accept compensation for any film to be considered, and there is no monetary compensation offered for awards.
We try to review each film as they are added to our online film festival. Sometimes, however, it may take some time. Films that have reviews up are listed in this section.
Our reviews are done in good faith and without bias, and they are the opinion of the reviewer, which may ne done under a pseudonym for privacy purposes and for the integrity of the review. Reviews stay up regardless of the availability of the film to be watched, and films will still be reviewed even if the film is made unavailable after we have added it.
Reviews will not be removed, even after a film is removed or is made unavailable to be watched. We reserve the right to review any film that comes to our attention.
Reviews may also be written and published under our affiliate independent film web sites, such as, but not limited to, Tampa Film Review, Tampa Bay Film Review, Florida Film Review, and Independent Film Review.
We strongly recommend making your film available to be watched, as the audience is then free to see it and to make up their own mind instead of going by the opinions expressed in our reviews. Your film deserves a chance; if it can’t be seen, those options are limited.
If a film screening on our online film festival is made unavailable, or if we are made to remove it, the review will remain up, and we will add a notation that it is not available to view. If that film was on our showcase channel, it will be removed from that channel and rendered ineligible to be considered for any future awards. We will add the film to our indie film graveyard channel so that it remains visible in search results for that film. Removing your film or making it unavailable will not affect its search results or remove it from the results of results; you cannot erase it that way.
The reason that it has to be this way is that we have a lot of films screening on The Connected Film Festival online film festival, and we don’t have the time to constantly keep up with the films that are available to be screened. Films screened on our online film festival need to be available to be viewed, as it is frustrating for our audience to try to watch a film and to find that it cannot be viewed. This, in turn, harms the integrity of this film festival.
Please be considerate. Editing this web site takes time. We do not have time to plug holes in our film playlist selection. We work hard to make sure that each film is considered fairly and that it can be seen by an audience. We add films to this film festival from public sources, and if you did not want it to be seen, it should never have been uploaded to begin with.
We reserve the right to add films this online film festival, and to review these films, with no notification or warning, at our discretion. If you wish to opt out of this, put a legal notice in the body of your film and in the content supporting your film upload that the film is not licensed for unauthorized exhibition, and that you do not grant permission for unauthorized exhibition, as we are legally obligated to honor that. We often add films that are publically available to be viewed online under fair use, and we can do that because we do not host these films on this web site, nor do we have possession of your video files.
Removing your film is your right, but it is also our right to allow the information about your film to remain on this web site and to let the audience know why it isn’t available.
Reviews of films may be done by a reviewer using a pseudonym for privacy purposes. The review stands on its merits, and we are not obligated to reveal or release the identity of the author of any review.


The following independent films have reviews that are available.
