"Indie cinema has been moving increasingly online and Sarah Sinwell's book is the first to offer a comprehensive mapping of this new and exciting terrain. Paying attention to the key players in the field and offering a host of interesting examples, the book is an extremely welcome addition to the blossoming field of independent cinema studies."

Yannis Tzioumakis, author of American Independent Cinema

"Sarah E. S. Sinwell’s excellent investigation into American independent cinema in the digital age is, above all things, extremely timely....Indie Cinema Online is therefore a vital contribution to a historiography of American independent cinema: aware of its past, revealing about its present, and preparing us for the challenges and issues that will shape its future."

New Review of Film and Television Studies

"Sarah Sinwell's Indie Cinema Online is an engaging and provocative examination of independent cinema in the past two decades. Through detailed case studies, Sinwell captures the promise and the challenge to independent cinema with the current array of  release windows and the drastically changed distribution and marketing mechanisms. Sinwell's project opens new avenues to shape our understanding and appreciation of independent cinema in the 21st century."
