Independent Spirit Awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Founded in 1984, the Independent Spirit Awards were originally known as the FINDIE ("Friends of Independents") Awards and presented winners with Plexiglas pyramids containing suspended shoestrings representing the paltry budgets of independent films. In 1986, the event was renamed the Independent Spirit Awards in honor of the talented and tenacious souls who drive creativity in the film industry. The Independent Spirit Awards are presented by Film Independent, a non-profit organization dedicated to independent film and independent filmmakers.

The awards show is held in Los Angeles, California usually on the day before the Academy Awards. Since 1994, the show has been broadcast on the Independent Film Channel.
