Jim Hamilton loved indie films so much, that he started an independent film club. Showing films in his living room in October, 2009. As of February 4th, he has 80 members! With a group that size, you'd have to have a big living room. Or, contract with a local theater to accommodate your group.
That's exactly what Jim did. So, starting Feb 21st, a theater in Oceanside, CA is showing indie films that the group has selected. One doesn't have to be a member to attend a viewing. But membership has it's privileges, and so members get a discount opportunity.
Jim and his North County Film Club are hoping that this will give indie films more attention and encourage theaters other than downtown art houses to show true indie films.
If you do not live in the So. Cal. take a page from Jim and start your own indie film club. From time to time, you'll good indie films reviewed here for suggestions. A good one to start with would be "The Lookout" starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jeff Daniels posted in January, 2010.
