Indie filmmakers and indie film fans should donate money to indie film reviewers who focus on real indie, film festival, DIY, art house, foreign, experimental, underground, and other non-Hollywood movies.  That way those reviewers can keep writing about those types of movies, and that is of use to indie filmmakers and indie film fans. I recommend perhaps each indie filmmaker, distribution company, production company, indie film fan giving $5 per indie reviewer, per month, to perhaps 20 indie reviewers or more - to their Patreons or Substacks or other sites. That's $100/month total, and $1200/year. Give less if necessary, and give more, to more writers, if possible.  If thousands of indie filmmakers and indie film fans adopt this practice it would mean a significant amount of money each month to indie film reviewers.

By Sujewa Ekanayake (Dan Mirvish is a fellow indie filmmaker, and I donated a tiny amount of $s to his new project ' 18½' - but - these are my otherwise unbiased notes on the new movie (if I don't like an indie movie I don't write about it).) 1 - Wild, unpredictable story - I thought I was in for a light comedy about 1970s political matters - but no - the film takes a turn to Tarantino territory towards the end - but not as bloody - completely unpredictable. 2 - "the yeast of the proletariat" line :) 3 - '70s swingers 4 - The cinematography - film looks great, has a 1970s visual quality to it. 5 - The actors - all the actors do a great job. 6 - 2:35:1 aspect ratio - it's the best 7 - Making a movie of any kind is not easy.  Making a movie during a global pandemic is nearly an impossible thing to do.  But Dan and his team pulled it off - amazing. 8 - The film will become a cult classic.  It will have to be seen more than 2 or 3 times in order to fully ...
