4SCENE Film Festival is a platform for filmmakers and artists to have their work seen & experienced by their community. With so much content being created, posted, and recycled every day, it's hard for filmmakers and content creators to find the right audience that truly wants to connect with their work. Unfortunately, for digital media artists, social media is the main place where a lot of us share our work. So, we created a way to get the stories and content of local professionals in our city in front of the Indianapolis community; giving them a platform for their work to be seen & experienced, on the big screen, in the way they designed.

Awards & Prizes

Thanks to our sponsors at Roberts Camera, a very reputable gear house in Indianapolis, we've awarded several filmmakers with new equipment such as:

Aputure MC LEDs
SanDisk 128GB Cards

In the years to come, we expect the list, as well as the type of gear and accessories Roberts' provides us, to grow.
