Indy Film Library is a motion picture review service, which grew out of the need of independent filmmakers to receive feedback on their work. Founded by Chief Editor Jack Benjamin in 2019, the Amsterdam-based project quickly grew to five regular contributors, each driven by the desire to champion new creative talent, and offer the necessary advice for it to flourish.
