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 IndieWorks co-host Lauren A. Kennedy in our series titled "IndieWorks: Insider Series".

Shahir Daud screened his fantastic film "La Loteria" in February 2014 and not only won that month's Silver Whiskers Award, but also took home the Audience Choice Award at our 1st Best of Fest last year. We invited him over to chat with Lauren about the romantic true story that inspired the film and the new projects he's been working on since last year's screening.
