Here are some cool picks by indieWire for the "Oscars of Indie Film" (the last "legit" award show so far) the Indie Spirit Awards. We'll definitely be watching this year (both Barry Jenkins and Lynn Shelton will be there as nominees, of course). This is a really entertaining, and in some cases, a really insightful and cool award show (nominees' budgets in the past include several that we made for 100k on down to 3 grand), for those that dont only limit their knowledge and appreciation of movies only to the two extremes of the industry - Hollywood, or ultra low budget DIY. Sometimes, that medium ground (features made for less than 5 million and over 100k) actually has work that is exciting, creative and very well-made. Take a look below:
"indieWIRE conducted a poll of some our writers, bloggers and friends, asking the two questions this year’s Film Independent’s Spirit Awards: Who will win, and who should win? In thirteen categories, our insiders suggested who might take home an award Saturday afternoon in Santa Monica.If they’re correct, look for a major split among the total tallies of winners. “The Wrestler” is apparently set to take home best picture and best actor trophies, “Rachel Getting Married” best director and best first screenplay, and “Synecdoche, New York” best first feature and best screenplay."
