FAQs
Who should submit to IndieBoom!?
You should. IndieBoom! is designed to benefit both established and emerging filmmakers and media creators.
How does it work?
Your film/original media will be screened by a Selection Committee of industry pros. If selected, your work will appear on the IndieBOOM! website and on the streaming platform BKOD, which has over 20K subscribers on Roku. Audiences will vote for your work by watching it and the films and media with the most viewing time will trend on the site, encouraging others to check you out. You’ll build an audience as you move closer to winning your category.
Every most-viewed selection in its category will win. (Winning Comedy, Winning Horror, Winning Dance, etc.)
The most-viewed selection over all will win Fan Favorite, and a $500 cash prize.
