Indie Musicals: Music-Centered Films For Any Viewer

The word “musical” brings a very specific thing to mind. When I hear the word musical, I picture the big, sweeping Broadway-style productions with a full story arc delivered in song. And those musicals can be quite a love-it-or-hate-it genre among film enjoyers.Then there are the so-called indie musicals. This can leave you  But whichever […]

sale

  While we’re quite proud of the long list of countries contributing international features to this year’s Raindance Film Festival, we also have quite a few films that we didn’t have to travel too far to find.  These films may have all been produced in the same country, but they span a wide range of […]

See It First: World Premieres at Raindance This Year


sale

I’m chronically late to the attention on lots of the biggest movies, and always experience the FOMO of being behind the hype.
