Links to 100+ indie film blogs (from 2009, needs to be updated)

I miss the old indieWIRE blogs pages (2006 - 2008 or so) - where there was a bigger focus on indie films, created through a collection of indie film focused blogs.  And Facebook doesn't quite work as a replacement.  Twitter is too short (individual tweets) and too large (at the moment, I need to search for best indie film focused Twitter pages) and also most of the info is not on one page (requires clicking on a link from one account, then going to another account/page for another link, etc - maybe there is a way around that, will look).  So something new has to be created for me to get a ton of indie film news daily.  This might be a starting point, a list of 100+ indie film related blogs that I created for my doc Indie Film Blogger Road Trip back in 2009.  Let's see how many of these blogs are still active, and let's see what new blogs need to be added to this list.  If you write an indie film focused blog, leave a link in comments.  I may create a publicly accessible blog reader page type (headlines & latest stories) blog for indie film related blogs soon (that's a lot of use of the word blog there :).  OK, the old list:

Review - doing difficult things well - making a period movie about the early 1980s with teenagers - Blake Calhoun's CASEY MAKES A MIXTAPE

By Sujewa Ekanayake * Blake Calhoun is an experienced indie filmmaker - but, it's very difficult to do period movies well - movies set in another era - on a low indie film budget, and it can be difficult to have several teenagers in your cast as the main characters - to get great performances. Calhoun has managed to do both things well in his new movie CASEY MAKES A MIXTAPE. The early 1980s Texas in Calhoun's movie looks - and more importantly feels - believable.  Great cinematography and color grading work.  And his teen actors do a great job bringing their characters to life.   I think the movie is being promoted as a mainstream accessible, realistic, light comedy-drama.  And perhaps it is also being marketed to a teenage audience. But, as an old person in NYC, I found the movie to be almost an observational movie - documenting a summer in the life of the main character (played in a low key, somewhat dramatic, and overall an entertaining way by the excellent Presle...

3 interesting indie filmmakers to check out - Hong Sang-soo (By the Stream), Blake Calhoun (Casey Makes A Mixtape), Lav Diaz (Magellan) - trailers, links

* Hong Sang-soo has become the ultimate indie filmmaker - making and releasing his movies largely by himself (key crew positions are now done by him) since around 2021 or so.  And his most recently theatrically released movie (by the time you read this article he could release something new - he works fast) By the Stream is an excellent indie film. It's somewhat Slow Cinema-ish, so you have to hang back and let it work its magic on you - go with it.  Here's the trailer (movie should be available to rent or buy soon from Cinema Guild ):  * Which indie filmmaker is crazy enough to make a period movie, on a micro-budget, with teenagers?  Apparently Blake Calhoun.  He mixes iPhone photography with footage from a larger camera and delivers an observational comedy-drama about an important summer in the life of a 13 year old character named Casey.  And the movie went on to receive a 9/10 review from Film Threat - which is kind of amazing.  A micro-budget, rea...
