IndieVistaFlix™ is a streaming platform founded and owned by award-winning filmmaker Alexander Freeman, exclusively dedicated to independent media content created by independent filmmakers. Our mission is to provide a space where unique, diverse, and authentic voices in filmmaking can thrive, while supporting filmmakers in earning income from their work.
Viewers are billed $19.99 monthly and $199.99 annually for subscriptions, while filmmakers can upload their content for free.
If you are an independent filmmaker with a feature film, short film, documentary, or series, you can upload it and we will consider adding it.
