Because no one rolls like our volunteers 💥 Cindependent Film Festival - and every Cindependent Film Center event year-round - runs on the incredible energy of our community. We truly couldn’t do what we do without the enterprising, kind, powerful, and generous people who show up to make it all happen. To celebrate, we took our festival crew bowling! Thank you for pouring your time, heart, and humor into every part of Cindependent. You make this community possible - and you make it fun. ❤️
“And he saw I was just wearing a t-shirt and pants and he was like, here - wear this.” Only at Cindependent does a red carpet look come straight from the streets. 💜 Joe Kwaczala, star of American Comic, proving that Cincinnati style hits different.

This is your last chance to feel what our audiences felt at Cindependent. The laughter, the chills, the applause — all wrapped up in this year’s award-winning films. Starting today: grab a Virtual Pass on sale for just $19. After October 31, the doors close and these films won’t be available again. Don’t miss it; link in bio!
What makes indie art great? Risk. Honesty. A little bit of chaos. Big love to @softmaxplus and team for bringing their signature mayhem, charm, and Cincinnati spirit to the fest. Support his books, support indie art, and remember - storytelling takes many forms (and sometimes… sounds.)
From Cindependent to Dodd — the creative community keeps rolling! Our Cinema Expo at the Cindependent Film Festival was made possible thanks to partners like Dodd Camera Cincinnati, who champion filmmakers, creators, and storytellers all year long. Now it’s your turn to dive in - Dodd Camera’s Annual Savings Expo is coming up October 24–25 and it’s the place to test gear, meet brand reps (Canon, Sony, Fujifilm, Nikon, and more), and snag major deals. It’s free to attend and every registered guest gets a $250+ prize pack of services and coupons. 📸 Classes, giveaways, and even free fine art prints are waiting for you. 👉 Registering is free! Let’s keep supporting the people who help our community look so good on screen. ❤️
Jonny picked a Cincinnati slasher - and honestly, he picked right. 🪓 Homebodies hits the screen this Saturday at the Contemporary Arts Center, with a horror FX makeup class before the show. Because what’s Halloween without a little fake blood and a lot of local flair? 💀 Tickets at the link in bio. 🎥 Part of the Cindependent Spotlight Series - your home for indie and cult cinema in Cincy. 👉 Follow @cindependentfilmcenter for all our spooky (and not-so-spooky) screenings.
Confidence is asking questions - out loud, on set, and with people who’ve got your back. Director Allyson Morgan shares how her crew for The Ghost made space for questions, growth, and a whole lot of heart. 🎥 The full Deep Dive streams for CindeFan members as part of a subscription that gets you access to artist insights just like this.
