Five Star Gift Ideas

For someone who loves indie movies and film festivals, there are a few gift ideas that might resonate with them. Here are some great gift ideas for your mom:

1) Ticket to an Independent Film Screening - If there is an upcoming independent film screening or festival in her area, getting her a ticket would be a meaningful gift. You could even go with her and enjoy the movie together.

2) Subscription to a Film Magazine - A subscription to a great film magazine such as "Sight & Sound" or "Film Comment" is an excellent choice for someone who loves film festivals and indie movies.

3) MoviePass or Other Theater Subscription - A MoviePass subscription would allow your mom to see as many movies as she wants in her area for a small fee. Many independent film theaters also offer yearly or monthly passes for film lovers.

4) Streaming Service Subscription - A subscription to a streaming service such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video would give her access to countless independent films and documentaries.

5) Books on Independent Film - If your mom likes to read, you could get her some great books on independent films or film festivals, such as "Indie Film Producing: The Craft of Low-Budget Filmmaking" by Suzanne Lyons or "Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born" by Jamie Lee Curtis (a memoir about her experiences at the Sundance Film Festival).

6) Personalized Film Festival Care Package - If your mom is unable to attend a film festival in person, create a personalized film festival care package for her. Fill it with items such as snacks, a cozy blanket, a mug, and some DVDs of independent films.

No matter which gift you choose, your mom is sure to appreciate the thoughtfulness and consideration you put into choosing something that speaks to her love of film.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she gave birth to you.
