Film Independent's Spirit Awards is a celebration honoring films made by filmmakers who embody independence and who dare to challenge the status quo. Televised on IFC for more than ten years and covered internationally by the press, Film Independent's Spirit Awards has become the vanguard event in independent film, recognizing the achievements of independent filmmakers and promoting independent film to a wider audience. Often referred to as the "Un-Oscars," the Spirit Awards ceremony is a lively, casual event shot on location in a beachfront tent in Santa Monica, CA.
