## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability thebotwire-com-indie-film-news-feed-61609aa2
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest indie film news from No Film School and The Film Stage — up to 20 articles from the past 24 hours — focusing on festival submissions and financing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need indie-film-specific coverage — festivals, financing, DIY gear, and distribution — from craft-focused outlets like No Film School and Filmmaker Magazine, rather than mainstream trade box-office and deal news covered by Variety/Deadline (available on a sibling endpoint). Ideal for filmmaker agents, festival-submission assistants, or any workflow requiring independent film industry intelligence rather than Hollywood trade reporting.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given query or freshness window — try broadening the time range or removing the source filter
- Invalid source enum value returns a validation error
- Limit exceeds maximum of 50 — cap at 50
- Payment not attached or insufficient — x402 payment required at $0.005 USDC per call
- Service unavailable if upstream sources are temporarily unreachable

## How this service works

Independent film and filmmaking craft: festivals, financing, gear, distribution. Filmmakers and festival-submission agents; distinct from the trade/box-office axis of your existing film wire

## Output

A list of indie film news articles with titles, source identifiers, timestamps, and links drawn from curated independent filmmaking publications such as No Film School, The Film Stage, Filmmaker Magazine, and Roger Ebert. Results are filtered by optional search terms, source, recency window, and quantity limit.
