Welcome to the Indie House! 8x times as Top 100 festival on FilmFreeway. We are an IMDb international film festival that focuses on independent filmmakers and provides a unique platform for their work to shine. Our festival structure is designed to prioritize the recognition of filmmakers, with a higher percentage of nominations compared to other festivals.

What sets us apart is our inclusive approach. We believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities, regardless of when they register their project. We do not make selections until we have received all the entries, ensuring that every submission gets a fair chance. Additionally, we have ALL Categories, offering a cost-effective option for filmmakers to submit their projects, and as a thank you, we provide promotional posts on our social networks.

At the Indie House, we have no production year limit. We believe in second and third chances, allowing filmmakers to submit their older projects alongside their latest works. We also support filmmakers who have their projects on YouTube or other online platforms, and it does not disqualify their film from the festival.

We understand the importance of communication, and our festival team is always ready to address any questions or concerns. You can reach out to us through our festival email, and we will be happy to provide prompt responses.

To make the submission process easier, we project films through the FilmFreeway platform, eliminating the need to send DCP or files separately.

Join us at the Indie House, where your independent film will have a chance to shine on an international stage, and your creativity and passion for storytelling will be celebrated. Submit your project today and be a part of our inclusive and vibrant festival community!

Lo que nos distingue es nuestro enfoque inclusivo. Creemos que todos merecen las mismas oportunidades, independientemente de cuándo registren su proyecto. No hacemos selecciones hasta que hayamos recibido todas las entradas, asegurándonos de que cada presentación tenga una oportunidad justa. Además, tenemos "All categories", lo que ofrece una opción rentable para que los cineastas envíen sus proyectos y, como agradecimiento, ofrecemos publicaciones promocionales en nuestras redes sociales.

En Indie House no tenemos límite de años de producción. Creemos en las segundas y terceras oportunidades, lo que permite a los cineastas presentar sus proyectos más antiguos junto con sus trabajos más recientes. También apoyamos a los cineastas que tienen sus proyectos en YouTube u otras plataformas en línea, y eso no descalifica su película del festival.

Entendemos la importancia de la comunicación y nuestro equipo del festival siempre está listo para responder cualquier pregunta o inquietud. Puede comunicarse con nosotros a través de nuestro correo electrónico del festival, y estaremos encantados de proporcionarle respuestas rápidas.

Para facilitar el proceso de envío, proyectamos las películas a través de la plataforma FilmFreeway, eliminando la necesidad de enviar DCP o archivos por separado.

    Thank you for choosing "For the Birds" as a Best First Time Screenwriter Winner! I am floored! This festival followed through on their notification date and event date. While other festivals keep changing their dates, this one held to their original dates. They even emailed shortly before the Film Freeway notification to let me know the status of my project. This was my first experience with this event and I highly recommend it. I've nothing but positive things to report. Much luck with future events and I wish the festival the BEST!
