What is INDIE? Movie Trailer

At a time when independent artists in the music industry have more power and control over their careers than ever before, "What is INDIE?" tries to determine just what it really means to be 'indie'.

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


The film features interviews with indie music experts including Panos Panay (Founder of Sonicbids), Derek Sivers (Founder of CD Baby) and Suzanne Glass (Founder of Indie-Music.com), as well as with 20 artists including Ember Swift and Paul Cargnello.

"indie means you wear vans and a snapback!" says the little teeny bopper

Very useful to explain in three minutes the concept of "Indie" music, because it includes people talking using different accents.

"Indie" is as simple as deciding yourself what you want to make.

No one will tell you "this is no good, do something else" or "change this, and that".

Bastion was distributed by Warner games, but it's still an Indie game because they made the game they wanted, how they wanted.

That's relatively easy with digitally-distributed media. But for physical stuff like CDs, printed media, etc, being Indie is quite harder. There's always someone telling: "Change this so it will sell more".

@JDilla2812 yes i can help. Dont try to call me or facebook me cause thats way too mainstream. I have a telegraph or you can send me a letter but getting toned is really easy. You drink a little water, eat no carbs and do way too many sit ups with less than bodyweight

[wippudaeu]

this is incredible. I hate halo 3 and gears of war is terrible. Hudson still makes the best games but if they go out of business im rejecting my posing label and doing my routine UNSIGNED!!!!!

I hate indie suckers. they try not to conform that much that they actually do conform. you dont wanna conform then keep yourself isolated from the world and be yourself entirely. its a win win cos then the rest of us dont have to look at you.
