SF INDIEFEST HITS SCREENS FEB. 5-15
"As ever, the San Francisco Independent Film Festival—a formal name I’ve never heard anyone call it by—celebrates the offbeat, DIY and fun among feature-length, short, narrative and non-fiction cinema. There’s a spirit to IndieFest that’s not unlike days of yore when you picked the most outlandish-looking box off the video store shelf for a night’s home viewing with friends." — Dennis Harvey, 48Hills
