The winners were as follows:

Jack Brindelli, Founder and Editor in Chief of Indy Film Library, said, “If these films are anything to judge the future of Indy Film by, the mainstream film industry should be looking anxiously over its shoulder at these bright new artists moving in on its turf! The filmmakers whose work has been selected for screening at this year’s Indy Film Awards have all done something quite remarkable in that regard. The winners are the very cream of the crop – considering the restraints placed on Directors like these, I am actually a little in awe of their work, and look forward to what they come up with in the future.”
