It’s no Big Red Machine, but this All-Star lineup is the next best thing! ⚾ Their initial team-up was at last week’s CindeSpotlight screening of Eight Men Out, and it’s been a pitch perfect relationship ever since. 🤩 We’ve decided to continue the dream team magic on Wednesday 7/30 at Film Night at the Great American Ball Park! Bring your mitts, grab your favorite baseball snacks, and join us for the Cindependent takeover! 🌭🎬 What’s more?

What’s the difference that encouraging inspiration can make to a young mind? ✨🧠 It’s watching our children believe in themselves in ways in which we were never allowed to. It’s proudly seeing them take on seemingly impossible tasks with a smile, with a dream. 📽️ It’s looking at them as they look to the stage and see their future. Our festival is more than a celebration of fully realized artists; it’s admiring each step they take in their journeys and all the ways in which their art grows with them. We all begin somewhere! Here at Cindependent, we nourish the creative spark in our young artists. That’s why we’re hosting our CindeNext youth filmmaker camp this July 31st - August 1st. 🎬 Aimed at ages 14-17 and taught in partnership with UC’s Media Production Division, we give our participants the wonderful opportunity to work with industry professionals to create a film that will premier at this year’s festival. Let’s see your young visionary’s work on the big screen! This event is coming up fast, so be sure to secure your spot today at the link in bio. 🤝 #CindeFF #Cincinnati #IndieFilm #FilmCommunity #SupportTheArts
