“Audience as the Critic”

🎥 This Wednesday, YOU are the film critic. ⭐

At Indie Under the Stars, the audience watches 4 short independent films, rates them, leaves feedback for the filmmakers, and helps decide which film moves forward.

You’re not just buying a ticket.
You’re becoming part of the process.

Think Siskel & Ebert, but cooler.
Think Amateur Night at the Apollo, but for independent film.
Think Chicago under the stars with the big screen lit up.

Come watch the films. Then tell the filmmakers what moved you, what stood out, and which film deserves to come back.
