Independent Features was founded by two independent filmmakers who learned first-hand how hard it is to find an independent film an audience. The organization pioneered the Independent Features Film Festival, which is the first in which film selection is done online via a web-based competition. The Independent Features Festival is one of the fastest growing in the world, and has been featured in Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, USA Today, and the NY Daily News. Festival events will also be available to anyone with a ticket stub!
