NoBudge

NoBudge is an online film festival and platform for low-budget, no-budget, and DIY indie films. "One of the best places to sample what’s happening in low-budget cinema worldwide," says Glenn Kenny of The New York Times. Our mission is to provide a supportive home for emerging indie filmmakers working with limited resources and without major industry connections. We premiere new short films and features online, and also host live screenings bi-monthly in Brooklyn, New York at Nitehawk Cinema (Williamsburg). *NOTE: our live screenings are on hold at the moment due to Covid-19 / theater closings. Our event dates as listed are for our online programming. --- "NoBudge celebrates the creative freedom often only found in work made free from commercial considerations. It’s a place to discover fun, stimulating short works from artists you didn’t previously know." -Vulture "Like a great film festival shorts section beamed into your home, NoBudge is one of the internet’s top showcases for independent work." -Eric Allen Hatch, Endcrawl. "One of the most singular streaming outlets on the block." -The Guardian. "One of the premier destinations for true independent movies." -No Film School. "Should be on every film fan's bookmark list" -Film School Rejects. "With the hurdles of theatrical distribution increasing all the time, NoBudge stands as a valuable alternative — a way for cash-strapped directors to have their work seen and written about without having to worry over the financial and logistical headaches." -Village Voice Featured by The New York Times, The New Yorker, Vulture, The Guardian, Indiewire, Filmmaker, Village Voice, The Wall St. Journal, No Film School, Paste, Film School Rejects.
