access” passes to all Indiefestevents, including all film screenings, and
booth space at the film and script market. The festival market, where filmmakers
and writers will be able to market their projects to film and talent executives,
will also open space to a limited number of individuals regardless of their status
in Indiefest. The film festival will take place in Chicago from August 1 - 10,
