The vision of CV Indie Film awards was birthed by Gina Carey, an Indie Filmmaker, CEO of Gina Carey films and Gico Music. Gina has had a fair share of the rough, tight paths of the entertainment industry. She understands how challenging the industry can be without sufficient monetary supports and what it holds for upcoming artists, hence the need for the awards. Independent filmmakers have found the awards very beneficial, inspiring with outstanding exposure.
