From the theaters of Raleigh Studios Hollywood to Regal LA Live, IndieX has premiered in the annual events and special screenings and Q&A sessions over 350 films and welcomed in Los Angeles more than 3000 attendees from 26 countries.

Among its previous winners, IndieX is proud to have Academy Award winners Barney Burman and Joel Harlow, Academy Award nominees Abigail Breslin, Bill Nighy, Bruce Davison, Eric Roberts, Janet McTeer, Keisha Castle-Hughes, and Paul Giamatti, Primetime Emmy award winners Carey Jones, James David Redding III, Kyra Sedgwick, Loretta Devine, Patrick Norris, Roy H. Wagner, and Sascha Schneider, Primetime Emmy award nominees Brendan Scannell, Cara Bueno, Joe Mantegna, Kevin Bacon, Phil Augusta Jackson and Ross Buran, Daytime Emmy award winners Jacob Lee Johnson and Jacob Young, Daytime Emmy award nominee Leven Rambin, Screen Actors Guild Awards winners Donny Carrington, Hymnson Chan, and Sam Phillips, Screen Actors Guild Awards nominees Ben Ahlers, Sam Ly, and Yoshi Sudarso, Teen Choice Awards nominee Dreama Walker, Canadian Screen Awards nominee Michael Dalton-Smith, Hollywood Critics Association Television Awards winner Sue Ann Pien, Sundance Special jury Award winner Masha Ko, Sundance Grand Jury prize nominee Bart Freundlich, AACTA Award winner Darren Gilshenan, and MTV Movie + TV Awards winner Joslyn Rose Lyons and MTV Movie + TV Awards nominee Sosie Bacon.

IndieX is looking for independent projects from all genres and all countries, especially from those traditionally underrepresented in the global film industry. With room for transgressive, eccentric or forbidden, to balance traditional narratives with high standard projects, linear or non linear, that simply "don't fit".

Each monthly round, all submitted projects are judged by a random team of invited experts from academia and film industry from Los Angeles area, against a high standard of merit.

From the pool of official selection, which has a very competitive acceptance rate, IndieX choses the nominees and award winners of the season. Some of the award-winning projects, selected by the programmers of IndieX, are publicly screened in Los Angeles in special Q&A sessions with cast and crews.

Annual Awards qualifying
The nominees and award winners of each monthly round qualify for the Annual Awards. For this event in Los Angeles, the judging team of IndieX chose around 75/85 films to nominate for the best of the year (from the pool of nominees and awards winners of 12 monthly rounds).

MONTHLY ROUNDS
