About the Evening

The Toronto Indie Association of Filmmakers brings together the people who make independent cinema happen: directors, writers, cinematographers, editors, performers, and the crews behind the frame.


On May 15, Midtowner Productions hosts a curated program for the city's indie film community: a night to watch new work, recognize craft, meet peers, and celebrate films made with care, conviction, and collaboration.
