Dear film lover,

Being a film lover, a “ciner” if you will, is so exciting! We have an endless amount of options to choose from; short films to blockbuster movies, from any genre; comedy, action, thriller, romance, horror, and anything in between. When you watch a new film, what do you look for? What is the first thing that draws you in? Is it the characters? The visuals? The action? What are small details you pick up on and talk about with others? For example, I love to pay attention to the linguistics of the characters. Their accents, their grammar, or the slang peppered through their dialogue have always caught my attention from early on in the film. Do you have a specific genre you enjoy watching, and what kind of themes do you look for in these genres? If you do, that’s great! We also encourage you to try films outside of your usual genre, especially with indie films, you never know when you might find a new niche, and a new filmmaker to support. Speaking of what we love to see in films already, what would you like to see in the future? What reputation or storylines are you looking forward to seeing in the next short film you watch? We know a ton of work goes into creating any movie, especially independent ones, and that’s why we are so thankful to have a space to share these fun and creative short films with you.

With love,
Andrea and the Indie Sparxs team
