IndieFlix is dedicated to providing a forum where filmmakers and their audience can interact, and to building a community that translates artistic vision into commercial success.

IndieFlix promises to build a fair and open market to empower filmmakers to be the engine of their achievement, and audiences to be a vital part of a movie’s success.

IndieFlix is committed to encouraging public opinion and power of choice while reinvesting in the independence of films, the people that craft them, and the organizations that support them.

We believe that every good movie has an audience.

Beyond Our Shores: A New Look at the New Hampshire Isles of Shoals Thursday, 4/25 at 7 PM

Star Island CEO Joe Watts will speak about how the Shoals are steeped in history, but they are also vibrant today,  and with sustainable efforts will be an offshore gem well into the future. He will discuss their Green Gosport Initiative and their hopes to move to a comprehensive solar power solution.

Visiting Star Island is like stepping back in time, yet in another way technology and invention can be found everywhere.

He will speak about what specific programs Star Island has to offer Rye and seacoast residents this year and any discounts that will be offered.

Sue Reynolds, founder and head of Light House Kids will speak about efforts to preserve the lighthouse as well as Seavey and Lunging Islands.

Sue is also the skipper of the “Uncle Oscar” which takes daily trips to Star island from Rye Harbor.

With all that has been publicized about the lore of these unique coastal islands there are still many coastal residents who do not know their history, or have never visited the Isles. This is their chance to discover local history and plan a day or week excursion right in your back yard.
