Film Independent produces the Spirit Awards, the annual celebration honoring artist-driven films and recognizing the finest achievements of American independent filmmakers. Film Independent also produces Film Independent Presents a year-round, weekly program that offers unique cinematic experiences for the Los Angeles creative community and the general public.
