Hello, everyone. With the new year, the early bird deadline passed for The 
2013 Indie Gathering International Film Festival, but there is still plenty of 
time to submit your film or script! Regular submissions are now open until May 
1st, and we have some exciting new awards that will be offered at the 2013 fest! 
In addition to the standard awards in each category, our sponsors are now 
offering additional awards.
 

Nuvotech is a software and Web 2.0 services company
