Founded by Actor and Filmmaker Dave Brown USA in 2012, the Indie Night Film Festival has blossomed into a beacon for independent filmmakers, fostering connections within the industry, showcasing diverse talent, and providing a platform for filmmakers to share their stories with appreciative audiences.
Each week, at the Los Angeles festival, it curates a captivating lineup of submissions, ranging from short films and documentaries to web series episodes and pilots. What sets Indie Night apart is its commitment to inclusivity, attracting top-tier talent alongside emerging filmmakers, making every screening a dynamic blend of creativity and community.
The festival’s success in Los Angeles prompted Brown to take the show on the road, bringing Indie Night to cities across the country, starting with Atlanta. During the inaugural event, Brown, a Morehouse College alum, seized the opportunity to engage with students, sharing insights into the entertainment industry and encouraging them to submit their work for future festivals.
The 12th season kickoff promises to be a star-studded affair, set against the backdrop of the AMC Kabuki 8 in the Japan Center complex. Red Carpet at 12:30 PM / Showtime 2:00 PM
Brown, a San Francisco native, is thrilled to return to his roots, joined onstage by acclaimed actor Morris Chestnut, known for his roles in iconic films like “Boyz in the Hood” and “The Best Man.” Guiding the evening’s festivities as master of ceremonies is DJ Q-Nice, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all in attendance.
As the Indie Night Film Festival continues to evolve, Brown remains dedicated to providing a platform for storytellers of all backgrounds to shine. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newcomer to the scene, Indie Night welcomes your creative contributions, offering more opportunities for recognition and collaboration than ever before.
Following its San Francisco debut, the festival will return to the iconic TCL Chinese Theater every Saturday throughout the 2024 season, promising audiences a cinematic journey like no other.
