One of the things I found hardest during my own ill-fated spell as an independent filmmaker, was finding impartial feedback. I know I am not alone in this, and many directors I have met in the years since, running film festivals in England and the Netherlands, is that outside of the industry, finding out what went well, or what could be improved, in a project is nigh on impossible.
Your film will unsurprisingly draw praise from friends and family who have seen the film – no matter how confusing they found the experience – or it will find itself at the mercy of the trolls who patrol the aggregatory arenas of Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB or Metacritic. You are caught between the proverbial rock of unconditional love and the hard place consisting of n00bpwner123 and his army of sock-puppets looking to drag down your average score with aimless one-star reviews.
The only other way a would-be indy auteur can get feedback is via a public screening, and to be accepted by a festival worth its salt and receive a decent examination, your filmmaking practices will likely need to iron out some bugs which only constructive feedback before submitting can really yield.
That’s where Indy Film Library comes in. I founded this platform as a means to providing professional public reviews to independent filmmakers, and something which can help them take their career to the next level. Every film submitted to us will be featured in an article of at least 100 words (most will receive longer, but I once received a 16 second video clip of an ant walking on concrete as a “film”, and really, what can you say to that?) which will include a constructive element.
