"What is INDIE? needs to be studied by any indie artist and label."
Tom Kidd, Reviewer Music Connection Magazine "This documentary may focus on a specific question, but the effect on the viewer is like a rallying cry. All independent musicians, especially those wondering if they should be pursuing a major label deal, need to watch this documentary." Jennifer Layton, Assistant Editor www.Indie-Music.com “I rarely get blown away but the movie did just that. It BLEW ME AWAY. It really made me proud to be a part of this movement, this groundswell that’s taking hold of the business.” Panos Panay, Founder Sonicbids www.Sonicbids.com "An inspiring film to watch for any indie artist losing steam." Amanda Mabro (Artist) www.amandamabro.com “Dave Cool's new documentary not only explores the many interpretations of 'indie music' as well as the unique thrills and agonies of life as an independent artist, it's also an extremely well-made and enjoyable film -- a great example of the quality 'indie' work being done by self-empowered creative people around the globe." Bob Baker, Author of "Guerrilla Music Marketing Handbook" www.thebuzzfactor.com "Watching this film was a revelation for me and has helped me to focus my energies in the right places. It crystallizes so many of the issues I have faced in my career. A must see for anyone in the music business!" Rob Lutes, Performing Songwriter www.roblutes.com “This DVD is the best resource for artists looking to get started in Indie music and the best pick-me-up for artists who are starting to lose hope.” Annette Conlon www.NETTERADIO.com “The movie is excellent- funny, smart, full of useful information- a story well told. It gave me (and the other musicians I spoke to) a positive feeling about what we do. Putting up posters doesn't seem like a drag today.” Joellen Housego (Special Interest Group) www.thespecialinterestgroup.com "Any one involved or is thinking of being involved in the music industry in any way should see "What is INDIE?". This movie not only defines what indie is, it is also your essential guide to the current and future importance of independent music." Cash Mattock (Artist) www.cashmattock.com "I just watched this thing and wanted to tell you that you rock! I literally nearly had tears in my eyes. It spoke to me and my indie spirit in a way that nothing else ever has. Thank you very much for creating this movie. You are inspiring indie musicians everywhere with this project." Jeff- electron love theory www.lovetheory.com "Dave has gone out on a limb in a world where every indie artist is trying to define what they're capable of achieving in a changing music industry. In this short but informative documentary he approaches folks in the indie music world to collect valuable information, then ties it up into a charming and sincere film." Jann Klose (Artist) www.jannklose.com “It was informative and definitely shed light on the state of the music industry today. I hope every serious musician gets a chance to see your film so we can continue to make changes towards a fair and thriving artistic society. You are doing a great service to musicians the world over.” Evan Stone (Artist) www.asamandrummeth.com “WHAT IS INDIE? has identified in a 'Cool' way what every successful musician has to learn, which is that they are in charge of their career! Kudos to Dave for taking a risk, unifying our definition, and helping propel the indie mission.” Kathy G www.MusicRaven.com “Dave, I met someone this week that was at the premiere last Saturday. The documentary hit him so strong that he decided to start his own label!” Jean-François Fortier (Artist) www.mavenne.com “Thank you for making this movie. Anybody that is thinking of going into the music business should see this!” Nancy Nickle Catz Go Round Records “It left me feeling inspired and empowered - the indie spirit is a wonderful thing that's stronger than ever (and not as narrowly defined as some would have us believe), and I think you captured that beautifully.” Katrina Parker www.katrinaparker.com “I felt that the film really gave some coherency to the meaning of "indie". I enjoyed hearing all of the points of view. Also, the advice section was very informative. Sometimes being an indie musician feels daunting. I was very inspired and encouraged by your film.” Annie www.hobbyhorsecafe.com “I just watched your fabulous film. I found it very informative and, most importantly, truly inspiring as an indie artist! It was great to see many of the people I have long respected (Derek Sivers, Suzanne Glass, Panos Panay) share their views and advice.” War-N Harrison Hungry Lucy Music www.hungrylucy.com “I am not sure which I liked more, the Documentary or the Advice section. I feel that anyone with a dream or an idea for their own projects could really benefit from watching this DVD. As a singer/songwriter who has many projects and exciting ideas, I found your work an informative, inspirational, entertaining and valuable resource.” Glenna McConnell Singer/Songwriter “What I am enjoying the most from "What Is Indie?" is that it has given me a resource and tool to describe what I do. It's like we all know what we're doing, but can't even explain it, but now we can, and that's a really good thing!” Matt Stansberry www.mattstansberryband.com "It´s nice for me as artist to see and learn what´s happening out there and that I AM NOT ALONE…" Karin Melchert www.karinmelchert.com "This is the best Documentary-film based on « Independent Music » that I’ve ever seen! I love the Advice section. I’ll recommend this DVD to everybody I know." Dan Vine www.danvineonline.com "I just finished watching the documentary that you made. I wanted to say that its super well done and very inspiring. Everything is super clear and the pace of the movie is perfect. I learned a lot from it. I hope that alot of people will see it, I think it will change alot of visions and thoughts that people have about the subject." Christian Richer www.elementkuuda.com "What is Indie? is a fantastic film! It left us feeling really hopeful, it's inspiring to listen to others in similar boats and learn from their experience. The special features are extremely useful. This movie will help many be empowered with knowledge and encouragement." Kai Ariel www.arielstorm.com |
