<\/a><\/p>\nIndie films no matter what genre have one thing in common- creative freedom. It\u2019s important not to underestimate the importance of this within the film industry. Independent films are free from the restraints of big box office films which allows them to convey a stronger message and for the filmmakers to express themselves freely. This is a quality the film industry cannot afford to lose which would be the case if Indie film were to die out. If you feel strongly towards the creative arts what better way to support the creative industry than by supporting indie films.<\/p>\n

Community<\/h3>\n
Because the market is smaller for independent film you will feel a real sense of community attending exclusive film festivals or having a favourite film some people have never even heard of. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Independent filmmaking is a much more personal experience than Hollywood filmmaking. <\/p>\n Indie films will often offer rewards for donating which will usually be slightly different for each film production. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n FOR MORE INFO – CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n BOOKLET – TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS – FINAL -8.4.17 – LAST<\/a><\/p>\n It surprising how many indie films have become a blockbuster hit and even spawned a franchise.

\nYou can meet people that share your interests through indie film fan forums, film festivals or small theatre showings of popular indie films.
\nYou also have the opportunity to engage with the indie filmmakers and production directly, through their social media etc and they are 100% more likely to respond than say, Steven Spielberg.<\/p>\nExclusive content and freebies<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nGet involved<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
\nBecause the market for independent films is smaller and often without an A-list cast indie filmmakers depend on support from the public and indie film fans to make their film as successful as it can be. When indie filmmakers get this support they will often show their gratitude by offering rewards for donating which may even include getting your name in the credits or giving you the chance to spend a day on set.<\/p>\nRewards<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThese rewards are often once in a lifetime opportunity and are perfect for film fans or anybody who wants to get involved in the film industry.
\nSee what VM productions offer here which includes the chance to be credited as an executive producer, a VIP studio tour and even the chance to star as an extra in one of their films. This is something that never happens with a big blockbuster.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\nSometimes indie films make it big<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nFor example, all of the above films (and many, many others!..) \u2013 including Paranormal Activity, The Evil Dead, The Blair Witch Project, Juno and Night of the Living Dead were all indie films that gained huge popularity in Hollywood and raked in millions.
\nImagine having your name connected to a film like that, although rare there\u2019s always the possibility of it happening.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Follow us through our social media on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Google+<\/a>,\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>,\u00a0Tumblr<\/a>,\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n
