Indie Grits
What started as a DIY festival for a tight-knit and dedicated audience, the Indie Grits Film Festival (IGFF) has grown into a staple of Columbia’s cultural life, giving novice to advanced media makers a venue for sharing their interest in independent media making and celebrating the Southeast through film, art, music, and bits.
IGFF 2020 is scheduled for March 26-29!
Filmmaker Focus 2021
Film lovers who want a behind-the-scenes look at filmmaking are invited to attend the opening event on Friday evening, “Developing Film.” The Nickelodeon will screen award-winning films from South Carolina’s DOKO film festival, which showcases the best in high school filmmaking. Local indie filmmakers will then have an opportunity to share “work in progress” films and solicit feedback from both the audience and other filmmakers.
Filmmakers who are ready to take their craft to the next level and hone their skills are invited to participate in a full day of workshops on Saturday, May 15. The workshops will focus on production topics such as budgeting, working with casting directors, self-distribution of indie films, and selecting the right festival to showcase a film.
