Part of our effort for IndieWorks is to feature & support indie filmmakers outside of our monthly screenings. We bring our winning filmmakers to your screen for a chat with one of our IndieWorks hosts in our series titled "IndieWorks: Insider Series". congestedcat.com/indieworks/

Chris screened his short film "Mating" with us in February 2015 at our Valentine's day themed screening. It won our Silver Whiskers Award and went on to screen at Best of Fest. We got a chance to have a really lovely conversation with him, but unfortunately our files were corrupt and we were only able to salvage the first few minutes of it where he discussed his film. We're really bummed and sorry about this. But we hope you enjoy what he has to say about the film, which can be watched on Vimeo.

Celebrating another amazing year of films & filmmakers!

~~~

IndieWorks screens short films every month produced by emerging filmmakers throughout New York. It provides a platform for those filmmakers to showcase their work in front of an audience and to network with individuals in the local film community.

Wednesday night, all 10 Silver Whiskers Award winners of the year, along with 1 lucky Audience Choice winner, will screen and be eligible for monetary prizes through winning either the Golden Whiskers Award or Ultimate Audience Choice Award! As always, we'll be screening at the wonderful People Lounge in the Lower Eastside, but this time with the 2nd floor & a 3rd screen.

There's no entry fee, so bring all your friends and film enthusiasts. We're even giving out a prize to an audience member through a free raffle, and every single person that attends will receive 250 free sparks on Seed&Spark - enough to watch a feature film! The evening is sponsored by Seed&Spark & the People Lounge.
