On Saturday, November 4th at C’est What?, the documentary film “What is INDIE?” makes its triumphant return to Toronto after premiering at Canadian Music Week earlier this year. Produced and directed by Montrealer Dave Cool, the Toronto show will feature a screening of the film as well as live performances by Montreal artist Paul Cargnello and local Toronto artist Naila Keleta Mae.
"What is INDIE?" tries to determine just what it really means to be an 'indie' artist, and features interviews with 20 Canadian indie artists, including Toronto artists Ember Swift, Naila Keleta Mae, Mystic & Miranda and Karyn Ellis. It also features interviews with top indie-music experts including Panos Panay (Founder of Sonicbids) and Derek Sivers (Founder of CD Baby).

A True Indie Success Story:
Without any prior background in film (except for watching Super-Size Me "way too many times") and funded entirely with his own credit cards, Montreal director Dave Cool has taken the film from a small do-it-yourself project and turned it into an indie success story in its own right that continues to turn heads in the music and film industries, even catching the attention of CNN.com, Newsweek Magazine and Canada's National Film Board.
