Indie Fest USA Entertainment Group Announces Submissions are now being taken for Indie Artists

Film festivals have been around for a long time. You can find them in almost every major city and in all sizes and genres. But if you look deep you will find they all follow the same basics. Screen the films, do Q & A, hold parties and give awards. But how many truly care about the indie film arts? How many are really there to showcase Indie Filmmakers and other Independent Artists, support the community and provide an entertaining schedule that's both affordable and exciting for everyone?

That's where INDIE FEST USA breaks the mold. At other film festivals, high ticket and pass prices mean less can afford to attend; limiting selections to films who have won awards limits the screening availability to the other thousands of filmmakers with equally great films just starting out. INDIE FEST USA 2009 combines seven great days of independent films, plus live music artists, celebrities add the opening night welcome party and closing night awards show and After Party. But we don't stop there! We join great indie films with local community indie bands and artists, each sharing their talents and having a great time networking. Add our special invites and long contact list within the major motion picture industry including distribution and acquisition executives, studio executives and ancillary markets, and you've got a festival that really stands out in the large crowd of film festivals, and truly showcases the independent filmmaker!
