INDIE NIGHTS

We think that film is not only a source of information or entertainment, but that it captures life and portrays it through the eyes of the storyteller. It's our goal to give you the viewer an opportunity to watch the story, talk about it, and hopefully be moved to action because of it.





















Indie Nights are held once a month at Backporch Coffee. We screen short films and hear from local directors on the process of filmmaking. Everybody is welcome and best of all, it's free.
