Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are some gift ideas for your granddaughter who loves independent films:

1. An Independent Film Festival Pass: Many independent film festivals offer passes that grant access to a variety of screenings and events throughout the festival. This would be a fantastic gift for your granddaughter. Take a look at what independent film festivals are in your area, and purchase a pass or two.

2. Film History Book: Independent films can have a unique history and backstory that your granddaughter may find interesting. Consider purchasing a book that talks about the history and evolution of independent films. A few great options include "Spike, Mike, Slackers and Dykes" by John Pierson or "Rebel Without a Crew" by Robert Rodriguez.

3. Streaming Service Subscription: There are a variety of streaming services that offer access to independent films, such as Mubi, Sundance Now, or Fandor. Consider purchasing a subscription to one of these streaming services as a gift that your granddaughter can use to access independent film content year-round.

4. Director/Actor Biography: Many independent films are made by relatively unknown directors or feature lesser-known actors. Consider purchasing a biography of a director or actor you know your granddaughter loves. A few great options include "The Coen Brothers: The Life of the Mind" by Josh Levine or "Nobody's Girl Friday: The Women Who Ran Hollywood" by J.E. Smyth.

5. Film-Themed Merchandise: There are a variety of independent film-themed items available that make great gifts. For example, consider purchasing a t-shirt or poster featuring one of your granddaughter's favorite independent films. You can find unique items like these on websites like Redbubble, Etsy, or Zazzle.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
