IndieWorks: Insider Series w/ Nelson Isava

Part of our effort for IndieWorks is to help indie filmmakers outside of our monthly screenings. Each month we're bringing our winning filmmakers to chat with IndieWorks host Lauren A. Kennedy for our series titled "IndieWorks: Insider Series".

Nelson Isava is a filmmaker originally from Venezuela who studied at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. His film "La Solitaria" won the Silver Whiskers awards back in January 2014's IndieWorks screening at the PEOPLE's lounge. We invited him over to get to know him and his work a bit more, as well as any future projects he's got cooked up.

IndieWorks: January Recap

This Wednesday, we held our first IndieWorks for 2014. The lineup was fantastic and we had a great time with everyone who joined us for the night (especially with the extreme cold weather NYC was pushing through that day).

The awards go to...

At the end of the evening, we announced our winning filmmakers for both Audience Choice Award & Silver Whiskers Award. The Audience Choice Award is voted upon by all those in attendance, and the Silver Whiskers is judged by the CongestedCat Team based on a system rating 8 categories of Story, Dialogue/Writing, Direction, Acting, Cinematography, Sound, Editing, and Production Value. It goes on to screen at our end of the year Best of Fest event.

For the January 2014 lineup, our winning filmmakers were:
