7:30pm, April 30th, Café de Paris, London
The Raindance Film Festival has announced their inaugural Independent Filmmaker’s Ball, will take place at the Café de Paris in Leicester Square, London, on the 30th April 2014. 
The ball is an opportunity to celebrate independent film and filmmakers and to bring the indie film community under one roof for an exciting night of partying, prizes, music and networking. Raindance and British Independent Film Award founder Elliot Grove said: “It might be all sunshine, bikinis and martinis for the Hollywood set, but British indie filmmakers work unbelievably hard in horrible weather to get their work made and seen. They deserve a night of celebration and some great raffle prizes to boot: bring on the Independent Filmmaker’s Ball!”
The event also doubles as a fundraiser for the Independent Film Trust (IFT), which teaches disadvantaged adults and children filmmaking skills. Neil McCartney, chairman of the IFT, said: “We’re so pleased to be able to work with both established filmmakers and complete beginners to promote filmmaking as an art form for everyone. This event will help us raise awareness for our cause, and the funds will enable us to carry on improving and extending the reach of our workshops.”
Raindance is planning a fantastic night of entertainment with a classy venue, great indie music and the filmmaker’s dream raffle. Music will be provided by soul band ‘The Indies’, a group made up of working professionals from the UK film industry. The raffle draw is being supported by some amazing Raindance partners and features an awesome array of prizes, including:
- Canon EOS C100 camera & 18-135mm lens
- Blackmagic camera hire & DCP package from the Post Factory
- Screening room hire from Motion Picture Solutions
- Hundreds of pounds worth of vouchers for stock footage from Pond 5
- Two annual passes from Vue Cinemas
- A spa treatment day for two with champagne afternoon tea from the May Fair Hotel
