Founded by We Love Soaps Roger Newcomb in 2009 and produced in conjunction with Susan Bernhardt of Leonian Pictures, the Indie Series Awards celebrate the best in independently produced entertainment created for the Web. Now in it's 14th year, the Indie Series Awards is the largest international awards gala for independent digital and audio fiction series producers!
The 14th Annual Indie Series Awards two day celebration in May 2024 will begin with a fun and casual nominee pre-party where creators celebrate their outstanding achievements in the world of indie series production and meet other like minded filmmakers. The following evening is the BIG EVENT! The red carpet, reception, and Indie Series Awards ceremony collectively create an unforgettable evening of glitz and recognition, where talented independent series creators and industry luminaries come together to celebrate exceptional storytelling and creativity.
The Indie Series Awards is renowned for its unwavering dedication to diversity and inclusivity, fostering a welcoming environment that embraces creators from various backgrounds and ensures a wide spectrum of unique stories is recognized and celebrated.
The Indie Series Awards, also known as the ISAs, honor a genre that emphasizes artistic merit and social impact over corporate profits, however, the overall quality of the nominated shows is comparable to that of most TV sitcom or dramas—in fact, several past winners went on to partner with traditional television content providers.
Past nominated series represent the highest level of achievement in the genre--groundbreaking programs, created by entertainment industry professionals (many of them celebrities), that have been viewed and listened to over 500 million times.
Notable winners over the years include Emma Thompson, Billy Dee Williams, Robert Townsend, Jeff Goldblum, Lou Diamond Phillips, Judd Hirsch, Richard Hatch, Joan Van Ark, Keith Powell, A. Martinez, Sean Kanan, Cady Huffman, Jim Rash, Michele Lee, Charlene Tilton, Tristan Rogers, Patrika Darbo, Carolyn Hennesy, J. August Richards, Wesley Taylor, Frankie Grande, and many more!
NEW for 2024 is the addition of Best Animation Series plus additional animation awards for Best Writing, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Ensemble!
