The Winners of the IndieBOOM! Festival

After more than 600 hours of video streamed online and on Roku, we're very proud to announce the winners of the second annual IndieBOOM Festival. Filmmakers really stepped up their promotion this year, using creative and entertaining posts and videos to draw viewers to their work and increase their social media followers. All our winners will continue to stream on our Roku channel and our most viewed film of the festival receives $500 to help them fund their next project.

Congratulations to all the winners, and every one of our official selections. We look forward to seeing what you do next!
