IWG Member Wins Big at the INDY Awards!!!


After losing by one vote at last year’s INDY Awards, filmmaker Kate Chaplin, returned with the powerful human-rights inspired film entitled First They Came for… and found herself on stage accepting the Audience Choice.

Kate Chaplin started the Indy Writers' Group in 2004 and is proud to say that the rough draft of First They Came for went through the critique process and came out better for it.


Chaplin said, "The encouragement of IWG members and their gifts for storytelling are
 invalueable. I love each and everyone of them for helping me become a stronger writer with each project I take on. I couldn't have won this pretty award with out them."
