It’s that time again: We need your vote for Project of the Year.
Our Project of the Year alumni include Justin Simien’s “Dear White People,” which won our inaugural contest in 2012 (and went on to become a hit movie and soon, a Netflix series). The 2014 contest winer, Amy Jo Johnson’s “The Space Between,” is set for a theatrical release later this year. “Almost Adults,” our 2015 winner, played at various festivals including Outfest, and is now available on demand. On many of those platforms, you can also watch 2013 winner, “Know How.”
Now we need to select another winner to join that group, and that’s where you come in.
Below, we’ve gathered information on all 12 Project of the Month winners in 2016. At the bottom of the page, there’s a poll where you can select your favorite.
The 2017 Project of the Year winner will earn a spot...

You’re young. You’re living in New York. You’re looking for a way to show what life in the big city can be like. And, if you’re Austin Spero and Rachel Ravel, your next thought is “musical web series.”
That idea eventually became “Rachel Unraveled,” a journey through NYC, complete with original songs and music. It’s a satirical look at the day-to-day of an aspiring actress, something that a number of the cast members (including established Broadway vets) can easily relate to.
It’s an ambitious first outing for Ravel and Spero, branching out into a crowded entertainment space with an idea that requires more than just a camera and some locations. Their initial campaign to fund the first season of the show was chosen by IndieWire readers as Project of the Week and then Project of the Month for August.

“Rachel Unraveled” is a new musical comedy web series created by best friends Rachel Ravel and Austin Spero.
