Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are a few meaningful and personalized gift ideas for your grandpa who likes independent films:

1. Subscription to a Streaming Service: Consider gifting your grandpa a subscription to a streaming service like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, or other independent platforms that showcase independent films. It's a gift that will keep on giving throughout the year, and he can enjoy watching his favorite independent films at his own pace.

2. Independent Film-Related Books: Get your grandpa a book related to independent films, like: "Spike, Mike, Slackers & Dykes: A Guided Tour Across a Decade of American Independent Cinema" by John Pierson, "The Independent Filmmaker's Guide to Writing a Business Plan for Investors" by Gabriel Campisi, or "The Guerrilla Filmmaker's Handbook" by Chris Jones.

3. Film Festival Tickets: If your grandpa loves independent films, he would surely enjoy attending a film festival. Find a local film festival that showcases independent films, and gift him tickets to it. This gives him the chance to experience his favorite movies and meet other film enthusiasts.

4. Independent Film-inspired Gifts: You could also find independent-film inspired gifts such as movie posters, t-shirts or gift certificates for films.

5. Personalized Custom DVD/Blu-ray Gift: This is a great gift idea for independent-film lovers to show how much you care. A custom DVD/Blu-ray of his favorite films is thoughtful and sentimental. Consider professionally digitizing any old family films that he could enjoy.

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