Momentum is building for student/indie films featuring socially relevant themes.  Just a few weeks ago, USC grad student Gregg Helvey <a href="http://kavithemovie.com/2009/05/we-won-a-student-academy-award/">picked up a Student Academy Award</a> for his extraordinary thesis short, Kavi.  The film, which deals with modern-day slavery in a village in India, has got some <a href="http://www.thefilmtalk.com/2009/06/11/kavi-review/">rave reviews</a> and Helvey definitely appears to be a young talent to keep an eye out for.<br />

If you've got your own script with a message, now is the time is start seeking out ways to get your film made - more and more companies are providing grants and production support for these types of films.	]]>
