Independent Film Forum
November 14,
2005 - January 31, 2006
When IndependentFilmForum.com (IF2) launches this September, it will be
a vehicle for providing aspiring film makers with an opportunity to share
their work with, and receive comments from, their peers and various industry
leaders. To celebrate the site’s launch, IF2 is sponsoring a free
online film festival from November 14, 2005 through January 31, 2006.
The grand prize for the festival is $1000. The winner will be determined
by the registered users of the site, as well as ten professionals from
the entertainment industry. Festival entries will be accepted through
November 5, 2005.
IF2 is a free online
community where you can share, watch, and critique independent films.
The mission of IF2 is to provide constructive feedback to filmmakers and
other individuals who are involved in the creation, direction, and production
of today’s generation of independent films. To carry out its mission,
the IF2 team has recruited professionals from all facets of the film and
television industry to provide reviews of the submitted works. “Like
most film makers, I want to know which aspects of my films work as well
as those that need some improving. The ability to receive objective criticism
from our peers is an important element in furthering our creative growth,”
said Jesse D’Aiello, director and founder of the IF2.
Interactive features
on the website offer great benefits to registered users. The “Q
& A System” enables individuals to submit questions to reviewers
via a confidential e-mail system. Users can also create a profile of their
film, consisting of a synopsis, photographs, and a complete list of the
cast and crew, on the website. IF2 features a playerless streaming video
platform, with nothing to download or install, that caters to various
internet connection speeds.
“We hope to
inspire those who watch the streaming movies on our site – film
makers and movie buffs alike – so that they can help a whole new
generation of talent develop their potential and gain some exposure,”
said D’Aiello.
