The Film Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature is one of the annual Independent Spirit Awards. It is usually given to the director (or directors) and producer (or producers). The "first feature" designation is applied to the director not the producer(s). Therefore, producers have been nominated multiple times.
Film Independent, a nonprofit arts organization whose Members include filmmakers, film industry leaders and film lovers, is responsible for the Film Independent Spirit Awards, dedicated to awarding independent filmmakers since 1984. The Best First Feature Award has been awarded since the ceremony's second year.
Anyone can join Film Independent. Anyone passionate about the art of film can become a Member and vote for the winners of the Spirit Awards.
