Getting Out of the Indie Film Mainstream

Indie film rose out of the defiance of independent filmmakers unwilling to be subsumed under the rules and commercialism of the big mainstream film producers and distributors. Some will agree that the very thrust and movement of the drive for independence and authentic production created an industry that has itself become mainstream in competitiveness and saturation.

So many indie films and indie filmmakers, and so few spotlights and venues.

The Internet is changing that. And Indie Village is harnessing the change to introduce independent filmmakers to their audiences on the global stage, whether or not they make it to the festival stage.

Indie filmmakers of every genre, across documentary, short and feature, -- on indie labels or in true DIY production -- have the opportunity to showcase and distribute their films to a wider audience than ever before with the Indie Village Store.
