Start searching for independent movies by checking the entertainment section of various regional newspapers. Many independent films play in cineplexes alongside the big Hollywood films, and the movie theater owners advertise each day in most newspapers.
Attend a film festival. Independent films are the bread and butter of film festivals. With the success of international film festivals like Cannes and America's premiere film festival Sundance, film festivals are held across the country. Check out film festival websites to find the nearest festival.
Pick up a film magazine or entertainment newspaper like Billboard. Independent movies do not attract as much media hype as the mainstream films, but movie reviewers like to balance their reviews of big budget movies by introducing artfully crafted indie films.
Join large independent media outlets like IndieWIRE. By becoming a member, you receive regular updates about independent movies. There are thousands of discussion groups online and dozens of authoritative websites focused on independent movies.
Start an independent movie fan club or join an already existing one. Word of mouth is still one of the quickest methods to get the word out about independent movies.
