At a time when independent artists in the music industry have more power and control over their careers than ever before, "What is INDIE?" tries to determine just what it really means to be 'indie'. The film features interviews with indie music experts including Derek Sivers (Founder of CD Baby), Panos Panay (Founder of Sonicbids) and Suzanne Glass (Founder of Indie-Music.com), as well as with 20 artists including Ember Swift and Paul Cargnello. In defining what it means to be ’indie’, as well as looking at the changing landscape in the music industry, the film ends up being a rallying cry for indie artists, and has been hailed as ‘inspiring’ and ‘empowering’ by artists worldwide. Directed by Dave Cool and self-financed through his record label Stand Alone Records, Dave embarked on an 18-month journey where he traveled over 2400 miles and interviewed dozens of artists and industry experts, all to answer that one question: What is INDIE? A True Indie Success Story: Without any prior background in film (except for watching Super-Size Me "way too many times") and funded entirely with his own credit cards, Montreal director Dave Cool has taken the film from a small do-it-yourself project and turned it into an indie success story in its own right that continues to turn heads in the music and film industries, even catching the attention of CNN.com and Newsweek Magazine, and is now in the National Film Board of Canada's official catalogue.   Awards & Nominations: - Best Feature Length Video (Just Plain Folks Music Awards- Nominated) - Best Song Used in Film/TV: Gina Kaz "We Can Take Care of Each" and Andrea Revel "Citysong" (Independent Music Awards - Nominated) - Top Indie Release of 2006 (Indie-Music.com)   The Official "What is Indie?"

"This documentary may focus on a specific question, but the effect on the viewer is like a rallying cry. All independent musicians, especially those wondering if they should be pursuing a major label deal, need to watch this documentary." -  Jennifer Layton, Assistant Editor, Indie-Music.com “I rarely get blown away but the movie did just that. It BLEW ME AWAY. It really made me proud to be a part of this movement, this groundswell that’s taking hold of the business.” - Panos Panay, Founder Sonicbids "An inspiring film to watch for any indie artist losing steam."  - Amanda Mabro (Artist) “Dave Cool's new documentary not only explores the many interpretations of 'indie music' as well as the unique thrills and agonies of life as an independent artist, it's also an extremely well-made and enjoyable film -- a great example of the quality 'indie' work being done by self-empowered creative people around the globe." - Bob Baker, Author of "Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook" “This DVD is the best resource for artists looking to get started in Indie music and the best pick-me-up for artists who are starting to lose hope.”  - Annette Conlon, NETTERADIO.com “The movie is excellent- funny, smart, full of useful information- a story well told. It gave me (and the other musicians I spoke to) a positive feeling about what we do. Putting up posters doesn't seem like a drag today.” - Joellen Housego "I just watched this thing and wanted to tell you that you rock! I literally nearly had tears in my eyes. It spoke to me and my indie spirit in a way that nothing else ever has. Thank you very much for creating this movie. You are inspiring indie musicians everywhere with this project." - Jeff - Electron Love Theory “Dave, I met someone this week that was at the premiere last Saturday. The documentary hit him so strong that he decided to start his own label!” - Jean-François Fortier (Artist), “I am not sure which I liked more, the Documentary or the Advice section. I feel that anyone with a dream or an idea for their own projects could really benefit from watching this DVD. As a singer/songwriter who has many projects and exciting ideas, I found your work an informative, inspirational, entertaining and valuable resource.” - Glenna McConnell, Singer/Songwriter Do you have any questions about this book or the order process before you buy?
