IMDb qualifying competition of Denver Indie Film Festival is an online international competition for independent filmmakers, writers, directors and all artists working on indie features and shorts. Our intention is to promote films and provide exposure to indie projects of all genres from all over the globe.
One of the key characteristics of an indie film is its independence from the conventional studio system. This doesn't necessarily mean that it's made on a shoestring budget or completely outside of Hollywood. The definition of independence, as with many things in the film industry, has evolved over time.
Independent films are made outside the leading film industry; they are less prevalent than mainstream films and are often produced by emerging filmmakers. Although these films may not have the big names connected to them, they still aim to get the same kind of distribution.
It would be our pleasure to consider indie films and artists of all genres for our online competition. Submit your indie shorts, features, screenplays and nominate artists!
