Promoting independent filmmakers of cinematic gems and unique voices to a worldwide audience.

IndieFEST, currently in its 11th year, discovers and honors the achievements of filmmakers who produce high quality films and new media. Attracting both powerhouse industry veterans as well as talented new filmmakers, the IndieFEST is an exceptional, truly international awards competition, not a traditional film festival. The goal of traditional film festivals is to bring entertainment to local audiences making the filmmaker of secondary importance. IndieFEST is about helping independent filmmakers gain the credibility and publicity they justly deserve. Our talented IndieFEST award winners have gone on to win Emmy, Telly and other awards.

Serving filmmakers is IndieFEST’s primary goal:

IndieFEST strives to give talented directors, producers, actors, creative teams and new media creators the positive exposure and credibility they deserve.
