In partnership with the Nickelodeon Theatre and Indie Grits Labs, the Indie Grits Festival is a four-day event that celebrates the visionary and experimental culture of the South through film, art, music, and bits. We host a wide range of cultural events featuring the very best of art, music, and experimental media from the Southeast.

There is also Indie Bits, an arts and education organization that aims to design and promote inclusive gaming experiences for all. Founded in Columbia, SC and focused on the Southeast, Indie Bits cultivates thoughtful production, education, and community oriented expression with regard to games, technology advancement, social outreach, and code-based learning. Building from their public exhibitions at the Indie Grits Film Festival, the Indie Bits leadership seeks to facilitate powerful creative gaming experiences via educational services, creative curation, and collective media literacy.

Indie Bits feature digital, physical, and virtual media ranging from casual to experimental. Simply put: if it’s interactive, independent, and southern — we want to see it.
