Wikipedia / Filmmaker (magazine)

Filmmaker is a quarterly publication magazine covering issues relating to the independent film industry. The magazine was founded in 1992 by Karol Martesko-Fenster, Scott Macaulay and Holly Willis. The magazine is now published by the IFP (Independent Filmmaker Project), which acts in the independent film community.

Background

The magazine was launched in 1992, as a merger between the two magazines run by IFP (The Off-Hollywood Report, 1986-1992) and IFP/West ("Montage: the Unruly Magazine of Independent Film.")

With a readership of more than 60,000, the magazine includes interviews, case studies, financing and distribution information, festival reports, technical and production updates, legal pointers, and filmmakers on filmmaking in their own words.

The magazine used to be available outside the US in London but has not been on sale in the UK since early 2009. It has been printed on a regularly quarterly schedule, only missing one print release in the summer of 2020 during the global pandemic, instead releasing this issue by PDF.

Annual features

25 New Faces of Independent Film: Each year (typically in the Summer issue), Filmmaker publishes its list of independent film's emerging talent. The list typically contains directors, producers, actors and animators. Past lists have featured Ryan Gosling, Andrew Bujalski, Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck, Greg Pak, Oren Peli, Miranda July, Tze Chun, Jay Duplass & Mark Duplass, Zoe Kazan, Lena Dunham, Rooney Mara, Azazel Jacobs, Craig Zobel, Elliot Page, and Hilary Swank.
