WHY IndieFEST?

IndieFEST has been the premier virtual competition for serious Indie Filmmakers for 15 years! It is recognized for the talent it attracts – from students, to first-time filmmakers to Oscar-Winners – and everyone in between.

For veteran Filmmakers – IndieFEST offers a brilliant starting point on your festival journey. IndieFEST is a great predictor of future success on the festival circuit as well as interest for potential streaming services. It provides valuable feedback to the cast and crew – and (as it is only privately screened by the judges) it doesn’t impact premier status!

For aspiring Filmmakers – IndieFEST offers you an opportunity for valuable feedback in the form of any score it might receive and a chance to see how your projects compare to other Indie Films.

For ALL filmmakers – it provides an honest assessment of your project, an opportunity for recognition, valuable IMDb credit, promotional benefits through social media, a press kit that can be used for additional publicity as well as collateral that can be used for future sponsors and funding.  And…no politics!

And – so much more!  See below for a snapshot of benefits and links to additional information!
