The ITVS Indie Roundup

Posted on February 17, 2012
A curated list of indie news and recommendations from ITVS's Rebecca Huval.




The clock is ticking! Submissions for the 2012 Vimeo Festival + Awards are due Monday.

Before The Interrupters premiered on Frontline Valentine’s Day, the bold star Ameena Matthews and co-producer Alex Kotlowitz made a fierce appearance on WNYC’s Takeaway. 

Stumped by your office’s Academy Awards poll? B.J. Novak to the rescue. The Office's co-executive producer/writer/actor told The New York Times a few of his Oscar picks. 

In other Academy news, Indiewire interviewed all seven Best Documentary nominees. 

If you’re wondering why the list of nominees lacks women, look no further than GOOD’s analysis of why the media is male and getting maler. 

Happy Presidents’ Day weekend! Start your fun with this charming short animation from POV.
