Being an informed voter usually requires reading up on the issues, analyzing all the data and watching the debates. Thankfully, being an informed Film Independent Spirit Awards voter is way more fun than that; all you’ve got to do is watch movies!

In two weeks (from February 5 through February 24, 5 pm PST) Film Independent Members can cast votes to decide who will win the Film Independent Spirit Awards on March 1, 2014. So there’s not much time to catch up on all the nominated films.
