It’s easier to pinpoint what you likely won’t get than what you will: This is not an event likely to invite (or attract) Hollywood stars, mount tributes to venerable directors, or show posterior-challenging obscurantist arthouse epics. Instead, there’s a spirit to IndieFest that’s not unlike days of yore when you picked the most outlandish-looking box off the video store shelf for a night’s home viewing with friends—the goal is surprise and adventure, not prestige." - Dennis Harvey, 48Hills\n\n\n“I’m certainly happy that IndieFest exists, because it is a celebration of films that don’t necessarily get distributed widely,” HITS director David Cross says, “I’m happy to be a part of it with my film, which is very much in the category of a low-budget, little indie movie. I’m glad there’s a place for it.” – SF Chronicle
