The 5th Annual Indie Film Jam ran from Thursday, May 14th through Saturday, May 17th at the City Arts Factory in downtown.  Last year, Pras of the Fugees was the big name at the Jam.  This year, Thomas Ian Nicholas of Rookie of the Year fame, made an appearance for his music video entry and played a short acoustic set with his bassist.  He also did a Q&A with host John Theisen.

Awards were given out Saturday evening and as in years past, Sugar Free Music closed out the Indie Film Jam.  They were accompanied by Tim Anderson on harmonica.
