This clip is taken from the special features of the DVD for the documentary film "What is INDIE?" (www.whatisindiemovie.com). The DVD has over an hour of special features, including Advice from Derek Sivers (CD Baby), Panos Panay (Sonicbids), David Wimble (Indie Bible) and others, as well as Featurettes, Resource Listings and a hilarious Blooper Reel!

In defining what it means to be 'indie', as well as looking at the changing landscape in the music industry, "What is INDIE?" ends up being a rallying cry for indie artists, and has been hailed as 'inspiring' and 'empowering' by artists worldwide.

****************************** *

Without any prior background in film (except for watching Super-Size Me "way too many times") and funded entirely with his own credit cards, Montreal director Dave Cool has taken the film from a small do-it-yourself project and turned it into an indie success story in its own right that continues to turn heads in the music and film industries, even catching the attention of CNN.com, Newsweek Magazine and Canada's National Film Board.
