IndieWorks Testimonials

We used our 3rd annual Best of Fest screening as an opportunity to ask some filmmakers/community members their feelings about IndieWorks. Thanks to our friend & IndieWorks alum Shelby Zoe Coley for video coverage, we got some wonderful comments to share. We'd like to thank all the participating filmmakers and audience members for their words. We aim to keep doing what we're doing and strive to support the community in even bigger ways. 

IndieWorks: Insider Series W/Cristhian Andrews

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/

Cristhian screened his short "Before We Lose" with us at our August Screening in 2015 and won the Silver Whiskers Award. He screened another film "Najmia" with us in November, as well, and it won the Audience Choice Award that month. "Before We Lose" went on to win our Best of Fest 'Golden Whiskers Award' at our Year 3 Best of Fest! We used our Best of Fest screening to chat with her a bit about the inspiration behind and making of the film.

CongestedCat Screening Recap

We take May off from IndieWorks every year to transition to the new season in June, so we decided to use the break to have a screening of our own work this year. Last night we premiered our newest short (alongside 4 other recents shorts) and our new pilot. It was a room of mostly cast & crew, where we got to celebrate and enjoy our work together. Unfortunately, quite a few team & crew members couldn't make it due to work commitments. But they were there in spirit! It was a truly lovely evening. Hopefully we'll get to screen both new projects for audiences at festivals later this year!
