Filmmaker is a quarterly publication magazine covering issues relating to independent film. The magazine was founded in 1992 by Karol Martesko-Fenster, Scott Macaulay and Holly Willis. The magazine is now published by IFP (Independent Feature Project) an advocacy organization that supports and serves the independent film community.
With a readership of more than 60,000, the magazine presents an insider's perspective on the world of independent filmmaking and includes interviews, case studies, financing and distribution information, festival reports, technical and production updates, legal pointers, and filmmakers on filmmaking in their own words. Editor-in-Chief Scott Macaulay's experience as a working independent producer informs coverage of behind-the-scene aspects of the creative, technical and business realities facing specialized film.
The magazine used to be available outside the US in London but has not been on sale in the UK since early 2009.
