The Indie Gathering wants you, August 15-17 in Hudson

Event preview by Charles Cassady, Jr.

As we all know by now, other than LeBron James, the only thing significant about Cleveland is the Indie Gathering. The Indie Gathering is a local affiliate of independent grassroots film groups across the country, linked by the online world. Normally the Indie Gathering has small monthly meet-and-greets around the Cleveland area, but every year there's a big Indie-Gathering weekend, filled with panelists, workshops, and film-festival screenings.

That's what's on tap August 15, 16 and 17 at the Clarion Inn and Conference Center, 240 Hines Hill Road in Hudson (right off the I-271 freeway exit).

The Indie Gathering features three days of low- and micro-budget cinema from around the world, workshops and networking parties, featuring both local would-be Spielbergs and out-of-town visitors, who have made movies their hobby, obsession and occupation.

The 16th Indie Gathering takes place August 17th through the 19th in Hudson, OH

Ever since LeBron left the only thing significant about Cleveland is the Indie Gathering. The Indie Gathering is a local affiliate of independent grassroots film groups across the country, linked by the online world. Normally the Indie Gathering has small monthly meet-and-greets around the Cleveland area (shoutout to Li Wah Chinese restaurant!), but every year there's a big Indie-Gathering jamboree, and that's what's in the cue cards August 17, 18 and 19 at the Clarion Inn and Conference Center, 240 Hines Hill Road in Hudson (right off the I-271 freeway exit; you can't miss it).

The Indie Gathering features three days of film screenings, panel discussions, workshops and networking parties, featuring both local would-be Spielbergs and out-of-town visitors, who have made cinema their hobby, obsession and occupation.
