Press Release for Spring 2011 coming soon...


Division Street, Chicago- Just look for the eyeball logo and you know you are at the right place.  Short films fill the 10 foot screen and all the plasmas in the popular night spot The Original Mother's. There isn't a bad seat in the house and they even break out the couches and free popcorn too. These shorts are anywhere from 30 seconds to 20 minutes and genres run the gamut from Comedy to Horror with everything in between. It's never boring, with energetic hosts and great films, the crowd is constantly entertained.  Now in its fifth year, the Incubator has gained credibility, momentum and a distinct voice in the Chicago area independent film scene.  The fest has prided itself as the best alternate venue outside of the traditional festival circuit for local filmmakers work to get shown and get noticed.  

Every filmmaker will take home something, but the big award for 'Best of Fest' is decided by the judge's panel. The panel consists of working professionals in the Chicago film community.  Past judges have included Kathy Byrne from the City of Chicago's Film Office, Eddie Griffin Producer of Image Union and Ryan “The Movie Guy” Jagiello of Cinemajaw.com

The Indie Incubator is Tuesday, November 30thth at The Original Mother's, 26 W. Division Street , Chicago . Doors open at 8:00pm. There will be at least 2 hours of running time with short intermissions throughout. Admission is FREE. The show is hosted by award winning comic book creators/filmmakers Matt Kubinski and Charles Klein, with a post party to follow for the rest of the night. There is no cover charge. Film list is not final and Mr. Kubinski and Mr. Klein have been known to take last minute entries that are especially good.
