LA Indie Movie was started by Garin Nugroho in 2007 in association with his production company SET FILM.[5][6][7] LAIM holds development, production and post-production programs split into two sections: Film Gue Cara Gue and Making a Film with Artists.[6][1] Both pair participants, typically from Yogyakarta, Malang, Jakarta, or Surabaya, with veteran directors. The programs each produce four films during its duration; winners have the opportunity to participate in both domestic and international film festivals.[8][9][10][11] Winning films are streamed on OTT, Iflix and Viddsee.[1] MovieLAnd is a similar event consisting of workshops, selecting cast and crew and working with industry professionals.[12][2][1] LAIM also holds a short story competition, wherein three stories are chosen to be directed and produced by established directors. The winning screenwriters go through a "script doctor program" with a veteran screenwriter and receive a cash prize of Rp 5,000,000.[13][2]
