Every filmmaker has a unique story, not just of their films playing in the festival at that moment, but of their personal journey to becoming a filmmaker, the struggles making their films and the goals and dreams of where they would like to take audiences in the future.

Profiles of Independent Film takes a closer look at the personal stories of independent filmmakers by examining their body of work and through in-depth interviews.

This year we are lucky to have with us for our inaugural profiles of independent film Gavin Michael Booth, the director and winner of last year's 2020 Durango Independent Film Festivals jury award and our audience award for best feature film for his ground breaking feature film “Last Call”.
