Self-Reliant Film produces films with compelling stories, a personal sensibility, and regional character.

Our most recent feature film is the award-winning Light From Light, starring Marin Ireland and Jim Gaffigan. Light From Light premiered at Sundance, was released theatrically by Grasshopper Film, and earned the “Certified Fresh” (93%) designation on Rotten Tomatoes.

Self-Reliant Film’s motion pictures have screened on five continents. Venues and distribution outlets have included Netflix, Sundance, Rotterdam, Edinburgh, Sydney, the Museum of Modern Art, PBS, the Library of Congress, and the Institute for Contemporary Art London, among many others.

Our work has been supported by the Sundance Institute, The Gotham (formerly IFP), The MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and the Aperture Film Grant, among others.
