Documentary Film What is INDIE? to Premiere in Montreal
on May 6th!
After Screenings at Folk Alliance in Austin, Texas and
Canadian Music Week in Toronto,
Local Production set for Hometown Premiere
Montreal, April 3rd, 2006 - On Saturday, May 6th at
the Sala Rossa
(4848 St-Laurent), the documentary film What is INDIE? makes its triumphant return to
Montreal after successful screenings in Austin, Texas and Toronto. Produced and
directed by Dave Cool, owner of local indie label Stand Alone Records, the
Montreal premiere will feature a full-screening of the fifty-minute film and
performances by some of Montreals high-profile independent artists, including Paul
Cargnello, Andrea Revel, Jean-Franois Fortier and Kali & Dub.
At a time when independent artists in the music industry
have more power and control over their careers than ever before, "What is
INDIE?" tries to determine just what it really means to be 'indie'. The
film features interviews with 20 artists, mostly from Montreal, including Paul Cargnello, Matthew
Large (Notre Dame de Grass), Jonathan Cummins (Bionic), Andrea Revel, Paul Gott
(The Ripcordz), Annabelle Chvostek, Bloodshot Bill, Tim Rideout, Jean-Franois Fortier
and Kali & Dub. Along with the 20 artists, the film also features top
indie music experts including Derek Sivers (Founder of CD Baby) and Panos Panay (Founder of
Sonicbids).
Does being 'indie' mean that you're "unsigned",
or does it mean that you're just not signed to a major record label? Is it possible to be 'indie' on
a major label?! The
film is sure to spark debate among artists, industry professionals and music
fans around the world and could forever change the perception of what it means
to be an 'indie' artist!
