MISSION
& OBJECTIVE
Independent Features is a pioneer in the independent filmmaking
community. We have combined the technology of streaming video with
the tradition of an independent film festival. The Independent Features
Film Festival is the world's first film festival in which films
will be chosen by a global audience via a web-based competition.
The competition will run May 1st, 2008 through June 30th, 2008.
The top twenty-one films will go on to be screened at the Independent
Features Film Festival which will be hosted July 25-27, 2008 at
the acclaimed Tribeca Cinemas in Lower Manhattan. The grand prize
includes screenings in select cities across the United States. Here
are some quotes about the Independent Features Film Festival
-“The Independent Features Festival
offers an online global stage for independent filmmakers, making
it easier for non-studio productions to reach moviegoers who are
looking to discover new voices and unique visions not typically
associated with mainstream fare.” -Adrien Brody (Oscar award
winning Actor)
-"The Independent Features Film
Festival is a dream come true for indie filmakers. A chance to have
your worked judged not only by peers but by the general movie-going
public. The only criteria being 'did they like it". It levels
the playing field and truly puts the power back in the audience's
opinion. Which is exactly the opportunity most indie filmakers are
looking for." -Dan Consiglio (Director Alleyball)
