The project will be in Tampa Bay from July 26-28. We talked to a local filmmaker who has created films near Seminole Heights.

The New Jersey natives shot short films around town with friends, and finally had a platform to show them off. "They were awful," says Paul, laughing. "We thought we were making groundbreaking stuff, but it gave us an outlet to learn the skill." Fast forward to four years ago, when Paul and a group of friends pulled the category "mockumentary" out of a hat during the 48 Hour Film Project. "I wrote it in 15 minutes," Paul says, "and I still say it's the best thing I ever wrote." Viewers agreed. Shot near Seminole Heights, the movie - about an interview with a "real life superhero," as Paul says - …

Here at Seminole Heights Patch, we like to be thrifty, so we talked to two barbeque experts and uncovered some really good ideas to help you save money on your next outdoor party. 1.
