NOTES: IndieFest launches the careers of Jennifer Garner (opening night film 1999 was her first role in a feature) and Luke Wilson (who, along with Alicia Witt, starred in fest selection Bongwater). Only one of the two 35mm cans arrive for the screening of 1999 (the maker only labeled one of them!) and we have to show the very first film of the festival on VHS. Against all expectations, 3000 people attend the festival (funded like many of its films by Jeff Ross’ credit cards) and an institution is born.
