Filmmaking is collaborative. You ask favors. Swap stories. Remember who the good people are. The film community is bigger than the Academy.

Because this is so important to getting a film done, we decided to pull together pages that would be helpful and informative for your next project, like the Sponsor's page, which is dedicated to vendors and IndieRoar collaborators.

And because part of the fun of film festivals is the buzz, the panels, and the awkward grandstanding, we decided to bring some of that spirit to the Web.

Roarum the Forum is an ongoing forum for all things film. Each week of the festival and competition, OF THE FESTIVAL? ALL YEAR? PLEASE DEFINE another topic will be introduced by us at IndieRoar, but anyone can start one at any time.

IndieBoogieMan is a blog handcrafted and obsessively pored over by IndieRoar's own Ian Reinhard. Updated twice weekly, with guest blog entries provided by industry folks.

Filmmakers' Blogs is an index of all the brave, witty, insightful and inane blogs written by filmmakers in the festival. We dare you to read them.
