The IFFA

The Independent Film Finance Alliance (IFFA) is an organization dedicated to providing funding for independent film makers. The organization is made up of finance-savvy individuals who are into making, producing and distributing indie film. On the website, you can sign up for a multiple subsciptions - they have various prices and contracts. Your membership to the IFFA places you in a community of like-minded creative individuals. Being in this community allows for a larger and quicker flow of information and service sharing.

Organizations like this are important because independent films need to be funded somehow. Indie films can bring out new ideas and new topics that could allow for a better society.

How does the IFFA decide who gets funding? Can you guys give examples of some indie films that the IFFA has financed?

I pretty much have the same question as Susie. I'm just curious to know if there is some type of application process they would have to go through to get funding.

I think this is a great idea. After listening to the creators of "Four-Eyed Monsters" I can only begin the fathom the immense start up costs that independent movie makers encounter. It's nice to see that there is an organization out there dedicated to helping fund these creative minds.

I think all of these comments all sort of say the same thing-- you're brining up great topics, what you need to do is develop them some more.
