Created last year in response to the abysmal Oscar nominations for documentary film by Indiepix and a whose who from the independent documentary community, including blogger extraordinaire, AJ Schnack, the Cinema Eye Honors honors nonfiction films and filmmakers, recognizing the breadth of the genre and including the crafts of cinematography, editing, producing, directing, etc.
