FAQs
Who should submit to IndieBOOM?
You should. IndieBOOM is designed to benefit all 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 our free Roku and FireTV apps. Every minute and second your work is viewed is tabulated. As you continue to promote and share your film's page, you’ll build an audience... and move closer to winning your category.
Each most-viewed selection will win its category. (Winning Comedy, Winning Horror, Winning Dance, etc.)
The most-viewed selection over all will win our Grand Prize
See more info about all prizes here.
How do I enter?
If you use FilmFreeway, visit our page and enter there. Or, you can enter a film or video directly via our site here. All entries will be viewed equally regardless of how they are submitted!
Are there any restrictions?
Nope. We accept short films in all genre categories and original content in multiple subcategory options like Fan Films, Web Series, Dance, Commercials and more. We love short films but we also want to see your exciting original media too. So if you’ve created an original TV series, professional choreography videos, and anything else then submit it and find an audience. It doesn't matter how old a video is or if it's already on YouTube or Vimeo.
Who are the judges?
The audience chooses the winners by watching. Every view is a vote. The more your film is streamed, the closer it gets to winning the top prize in your category.
What if I get more views than everyone else? Do I win anything?
If your film or original content ends up with the most time viewed overall, you will win our Grand Prize.
