An official website of the Film Independent Committee on Diversity.

Film Independent (FIND) is a not-for-profit service organization dedicated to providing resources, information and avenues of communication for its members: independent filmmakers, industry professionals and independent film enthusiasts. It is committed to the idea that independent film is an important art form and a powerful voice in our society.

FIND provides services to independent filmmakers of varying levels of experience, which assist them in expressing their unique points of view. It facilitates a connection between the creative and business communities. Other goals of the organization are to expand and educate the audience for independent film, and to encourage the diversity and quality of independent production.

Activities of FIND include the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Independent Spirit Awards. The Los Angeles Film Festival takes place every June and provides a showcase for emerging, established and neglected filmmakers. The Independent Spirit Awards celebrates the best in independent film and takes place on the day before the Academy Awards. It is broadcast live on the Independent Film Channel.

The Diversity Committee is committed to promoting diversity not only within FIND, but within the entertainment industry at large.

Offering invaluable assistance, information and access to the world of independent film, FIND programs help members make connections, and find out the latest on who's who, who's buying, who's financing and who's making what features, shorts and documentaries.
