Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandson's birthday gift, you could consider getting him a subscription to a streaming service that specializes in independent films. Some options include Mubi, IndieFlix, and FilmStruck.

Another idea could be to purchase tickets to a film festival that is held either locally or in a nearby city. This way, your grandson can enjoy watching independent films and also have the opportunity to meet and network with professionals in the film industry.

If your grandson is interested in filmmaking himself, you could consider buying him a guidebook on how to make independent films. "Filmmaker's Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide for the Digital Age" by Steven Ascher and Edward Pincus is a helpful book that covers everything from pre-production to post-production.

Another gift idea could be to put together a care package that includes a variety of independent films on DVD or Blu-ray, along with some snacks and drinks to enjoy while watching them.

Lastly, if your grandson enjoys discussing and analyzing films, you could surprise him with a film analysis course. Online learning platforms like Coursera and Udemy offer a range of courses on film analysis and criticism that your grandson might find interesting.

Overall, there are plenty of gift options for your grandson based on his love for film festivals and independent movies. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests, you are not only giving him a meaningful present, but also showing your support for his passions.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
