Indie Alert: JOE SCHERMANN SONG poster, THERE ARE NO GOODBYES funding, more
It’s been a while, but I’m feel like spreading a little indie love tonight. Director Gary King just released the teaser poster for his upcoming musical How Do You Write A Joe Schermann Song. Check it out here. There Are No Goodbyes, from filmmaker John C. Lyons, is in the home stretch of its funding campaign on IndieGoGo. Give! Check out this clip from the Oscar nominated indie Let’s Pollute! The animated short film comes from former Pixar animator Geefwee Boedoe.
