January 2025 Recap
Film Tampa Bay’s New Look
We're thrilled to announce our evolution from screen production underdogs to established experts in our field. Our brand transformation is inspired by the three foundations of Film Tampa Bay’s offerings: outstanding customer service, 5-star amenities, and diverse locations. As Tampa Bay grows we're following beside it and embracing our elevated offerings.

We Went to Sundance
Our Production Manager, Hilary, and Marketing Manager, Sam, went to Sundance last month to learn the latest industry news. From fantastic films to riveting panels, Sundance had a lot to offer.
