Independent Filmmaker Day is a day-long event held alongside premier film festivals ~ such as Cannes, Sundance, and TIFF ~ that fosters the development, production and promotion of projects in film, media and beyond. We are a community of directors, producers, actors and film buffs. Over four hundred twenty thousand (420K) people are part of our network, and participate in our events. We are also 99% larger than other film festival worldwide. Some of us are just starting out with big movie ideas, while others have won academy awards.
