When one thinks of independent film, they think about something that isn’t as mainstream as studio features, with a raw beauty both in concept and in cinematography. The couples in independent film have immense variety.

Whether you got an indie channel through some Direct TV Deals or you’ve always been an adamant proponent of indies, you’ve got a love for the genre. We do too! Thanks for coming. Here are a few of our favorite indie actors of the moment and why you should be watching them:
Elizabeth Olsen – Despite the fact that she’s become a sort-of fashion icon, Elizabeth is really making marks in her film career. After her recent success in Mary Martha Margaret May she’s become recognized by directors and film watchers alike.
Michael Pitt – The star of “The Dreamers” is one of the hottest new stars in indie. He’s got that look and intensity that make him a casting director’s favorite and his range is so far showing no bounds.
Michael Cera – He’s made a few breakout moves with films like Superbad but Cera’s still got that indie spirit that makes him one of our favorites.

Independent film Queen

Parker Posey –
Forget the huge movie stars, forget the glam and perfection. Come into the reality of good raw acting style. Visit with Ms. Parker Posey. Her two best independent films “Henry Fool (1997)” and “Broken English (2007)” are weird, off center and awe inspiring.

Generally you can’t go wrong simply following along with her list of film credits, from “Dazed and Confused” to “Kicking Read the rest of this entry »

Best Independent Films Ever Made are full of angst and growth but most off all fantastic music. Its the sound and the absence of sound that create mood and rhythm for the American Independent film.

Smithereens (1982) – The awakening of post feminism and the independent film movement can thank Susan Seidleman. In this incredibly written tightly woven nod to the end of a punk era, Seidleman thrusts Wren into our lives to be a unlikeable anti hero. Often lost in the wake to Read the rest of this entry »
