Thursday October 5, 2017 Friday, October 6, 2017 TampaThe necessity for this effort is due to the lack of financial support from the state of Florida. The goal of the tournament is to generate a pool of discretionary funds outside of the local funding provided by Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa. These funds will be used at the discretion of Film Commissioner Dale Gordon for projects and initiatives including but not limited to: Student scholarships and grants, creation of a grant program for local film makers and lower budget productions that might not meet the $100,000 threshold required for incentives tied to taxpayer dollars, and the creation of a fund to be used for organizing workshops for workforce development.
Visit Tampa Bay, Tampa/Hillsborough EDC, Vigo Alessi, Rock Brothers Brewery, Pepin Distributing, Diamond View Studios and Blind Tiger Café are among the sponsors so far. Sponsorships are still available and details for the event can be found on www.castandreel.org.
