About Sponsor:
Acura is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Honda Motor Company. The Acura brand has been available in the US, Canada, and Hong Kong since March 1986 marketing luxury, performance, and near-performance vehicles. Acura holds the distinction of being the first Japanese automotive luxury brand. In its first few years of existence, Acura was among the best-selling luxury brands in the US. Though sales were down in the mid-to-late 1990s, Acura experienced a revival in the early 2000s, due to drastic redesigns and the introductions of new models.
About Property:
The New York Times Indie Online Film Festival celebrates the vision, drive, talent and tenacity of independent filmmakers. Film Independent, a leading nonprofit film organization that has long championed artist-driven films, worked closely with The New York Times to curate four independent films – two short films and two features – conceived and directed by exciting new talents. Their efforts embody the wide range of voices and creativity that are the hallmark of independent film. Each of these films has received acclaim at prestigious film festivals. But none has been seen by a large worldwide audience – until now. We are pleased to showcase these films exclusively from September 3 through October 2, 2013. Watch them here, and here alone, as part of the first-ever New York Times Indie Online Festival. Share them with your friends, and visit again over the course of the month as we add video interviews with the filmmakers following live premieres in New York City and Los Angeles on September 7 and September 9.
