In the interest of serving you, our reader(s), with interesting "news you can use"-type feature stories, I’m passing along this membership offer from our friends at Film Independent.
I can vouch for the usefulness of a membership – I used their ridiculously cheap casting rooms for my last short film, and the free Netflix trial that comes with this offer is what hooked me on the little red envelopes two Spirit Awards ago.
Check it out:
"Film Independent offers something for
everyone: whether you are a working filmmaker or an independent film
lover, we are a place for you to access compelling material and a
community of like-minded independent artists who are driving creativity
in the film industry. When you join Film Independent (at only $95 per
year), your vote counts at the 2007 Independent Spirit Awards. You can attend screenings of nominated films or view them in your home on DVD through our partnership with Netflix.
Plus,
your membership brings you year-round complimentary access to
independent films before they hit theaters, priority selection and
discounts on passes and tickets to the Los Angeles Film Festival,
subscription to the monthly Film Independent Calendar, and more.
You must join by December 15, 2006
to take advantage of Independent Spirit Awards voting privileges.
Joining by this date automatically enters you into a special drawing
where you’ll have the chance to win an Apple video iPod.
