Game On! 5th Annual IndieBoom Fest Rewards Artists Who Rack Up The Most Plays

NEW YORK - Jan. 1, 2022 - PRLog -- The streaming IndieBoom Film + Music Festival launches its 5th annual edition Jan. 1-16, 2022 with dozens of new short films, series, videos and original songs by emerging artists from around the world. The festival is free to attend online and on Roku, FireTV, Vimeo and Apple TV apps.

Unlike most online festivals, IndieBOOM is all about closing the gap between creators and audiences. A jury of industry pros programs the selections, then the game begins! Artists promote their work on social media to encourage people to watch and listen. Streaming stats determine the winners in each category, including Comedy, Drama, Documentary, Horror, and Fan Film (which showcases fan-made tributes to icons like Ghostbusters and Star Trek.) The most-streamed film of the fest wins the Grand Prize of $500, and the top song wins $250. The prize money helps creators realize their next projects.

Each film gets its own custom web page with built-in social media tools, making it easy and fun for viewers to interact. Films are always 100% free to watch (https://www.indieboomff.com/how-to-watch.html) and are invited to stay on the IndieBOOM site after the festival, giving them more exposure throughout the year.

"IndieBoom is all about boosting the profiles of indie artists to give them support, confidence and help grow their audience. It's the perfect festival event for creators who understand how important self-promotion is in today's industry, and for fans who can participate and support independent artists no matter where they are," said festival co-founder Anthony DeVito.
