(CHICAGO, IL) – Over the past five years the Indie Incubator Film Fest has been known to be the “fun film fest”.  Short films fill the 10 foot screen and all the plasmas in the popular night spot, The Original Mother's, located at 26 West Division Street in Chicago. There isn't a bad seat in the house, and they even have comfy 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 and tenth fest, the Indie 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 will be held on Tuesday, May 18, 2010, at The Original Mother's. Doors open at 7:30pm. 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.
