Declaration of INDIE-pendents: Exploring the World of Indie Films

October 9  through  November 6, 2018, 7:00 pm

Independent films are a different breed altogether. Produced and developed away from the influence of the major film studios, they can be more intimate than the blockbuster films we are used to, and also very rewarding for the discerning cinephile. Indie filmmakers are known for putting their own unique personal stamps on their work, creating real art in the process.   Indies are not without their challenges, due to smaller, more “compact” budgets.  But, as a result, unique creative powers are unleashed to make up for less money, and the end product, as we’ll learn, can be totally awesome. Treat yourself to some unusual, emotionally packed Indie stories, and you might just be hooked on their ever-growing appeal. Some of the finest actors and actresses in the world have discovered the power of independent films, allowing them to really perfect their craft. This series will sample films from America AND abroad. You won’t want to miss Brit Eddie Marsan’s exquisite portrayal in “Still Life.”
