As independent filmmakers, we know how hard it is to find a platform to screen our movies. This group will be a platform for indie filmmakers to screen their movies. The intention of this group is to help indie filmmakers to organize screenings,  to get more people for their screening and help them get some profit from tickets so they can keep making more movies.

I'm starting this group for those movie fans who tend towards the indie scene and exroidinary movies (i.e. Requin for a Dream, Magnolia, The Salton Sea, The Sweet Hereafter, Pan's Labyrnth,Garden State. Freeway [Witherspoons first picture])...I hope by know you get the picture. And I wouldn't limit it to indie-films only, there is a plethora of good films making theit rounds that never were promotted. After the movie I though we could stop at a coffee shop, grab a coffee or a snack, and then get …

Cinema-Femina is a do-it-yourself meetup group that encourages it's members to scout out and see films made by and about women. It's all about watching movies, making friends, having lively discussions and, perhaps most importantly, it's about supporting the filmmakers themselves. Female filmmakers NEED US! They need us to buy tickets the FIRST WEEK their films hit the theaters. Those numbers will determine whether that filmmaker will ever get a distribution deal again. Sucks, huh? But here's th …

I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there? Is it still out there? … Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different. (Memento, 2000) No matter what anyone tells you - words and ideas can change the world. (Dead Poets Society, 1989) See, Mr. Gitts, most people never have …

Are you as likely to see a tiny indie foreign film as a mega-budget summer blockbuster?
