The ITVS Indies Roundup
A curated list of indie news and recommendations from ITVS’s Rebecca Huval.

Stanley Kubrick’s first three films were short documentaries. “It was invaluable experience,” he said, “because being forced to do everything myself, I gained a sound and comprehensive grasp of all the technical aspects of filmmaking.” His three shorts followed a middleweight boxer, the Seafarers International Union, and a New Mexico reverend. Are you afraid of marketing your documentary on social media? Or do you lack the time for Twitter? You can’t afford to feel that way any longer, says Sheri Candler at Tribeca Film Institute.
