When
founded in 1984, the awards were originally called the
FINDIE ("Friends of Independents") Awards. As times
change, so did the awards name to Independent Spirit
Awards, which also had the new addition of the spirits
membership voting on the winners.
The last
22 years have seen the Film Independent's Spirit Awards
grow into a vanguard event. Held on the beach in Santa
Monica, as a luncheon on the beach, the awards ceremony
brings together many members of the film community to
celebrate the very best of independent film.
In 2005
the producing organization of the Spirit Awards changed
its name from IFP/Los Angeles to Film Independent. While
there have been a few name changes , the show and
organization along with its mission has not changed.
The awards were presented
on 24th February 2007
