American independent film — a vital source of new ideas, fresh voices, and artistic innovation in media — is in crisis. From independent filmmakers to distributors, from exhibitors to film festivals, film workers of every stripe face systemic obstacles to getting films made and seen. While the road to making films independently has always held its challenges, the business practices and consolidation of today’s corporate entertainment industry have created an environment that threatens the very existence of the field. In collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, Future Film Coalition will strive to build new pathways towards a thriving independent sector.
