Live Screenings, Awards, Feedback and Promotion!
Indiefilmopolis was launched in 2018 as a podcast, concentrating on promoting & reviewing indie shorts and features as well as offering behind the scenes insight into the making of indie films and interviewing up and coming filmmakers and filmmaking professionals.
We are now absolutely delighted to be launching our first live event on February 27th 2022 to publicly showcase new and exciting shorts films, as well as hosting Q&As with attending filmmakers and awards for the winning films screened at the event.
Feedback:
We appreciate that feedback is very important to filmmakers and we know and have experienced first hand the disappointing factor of submitting to film festivals and receiving no further feedback that beyond being selected or not.
For our event, EVERY submission will receive a scoring sheet for their film, marking relevant categories out of 10. This scoring sheet will be sent out once the official selections have been notified. All submissions will receive the scoring sheet whether they are selected for the festival or not.
