It’s that time again: We need your vote for Project of the Year.
Our Project of the Year alumni include Justin Simien’s “Dear White People,” which won our inaugural contest in 2012 (and went on to become a hit movie and soon, a Netflix series). The 2014 contest winer, Amy Jo Johnson’s “The Space Between,” is set for a theatrical release later this year. “Almost Adults,” our 2015 winner, played at various festivals including Outfest, and is now available on demand. On many of those platforms, you can also watch 2013 winner, “Know How.”
Now we need to select another winner to join that group, and that’s where you come in.
Below, we’ve gathered information on all 12 Project of the Month winners in 2016. At the bottom of the page, there’s a poll where you can select your favorite.
The 2017 Project of the Year winner will earn a spot...

Making a short film doesn’t happen by doing nothing. Luckily for Jake Fallon, the writer/director of “Homebody,” making a short film about someone doing nothing is always a possibility.
In “Homebody,” main character Jessie is a stowaway in her mother’s house, living rent-free while trying to avoid being detected. Her story reflects a generational anxiety about shifting expectations, one that Fallon knowingly channeled for his debut short. “We expect immediacy, but when we don’t get it we consider ourselves as failures… This film isn’t about success; it’s about our relationship with failure and the support we need to rebound from it,” Fallon wrote when the film’s Kickstarter campaign first went live.
After two rounds of voting, IndieWire readers selected “Homebody” as the June Project of the Month. Then, last week, just ten weeks after the film’s crowdfunding campaign launch, shooting on “Homebody” wrapped.
