Top 5 Moments at the 6th Annual Indie Series Awards

"I've never won anything in my entire life," actor Richard Hatch enthused after winning the Best Guest Star - Drama award.

Below are the Top 5 Moments from the 6th Annual Indie Series Awards.

1. The El Portal Theatre brought old-Hollywood flair to a new-media celebration.
There’s something poetic about web creators — the scrappy storytellers of the digital age — gathering in a classic L.A. venue that has seen nearly a century of performers pass through. It gave ISA6 that perfect “past meets future” spark.

2. Acting Dead cemented itself as a comedy powerhouse.
Multiple wins across acting, writing, and guest categories made it clear the zombie-comedy wasn’t just a clever gimmick. They showed up, showed out, and walked away with half the room cheering.

3. L.A. Macabre’s Best Drama win turned heads.
The dark thriller proved that genre series can punch just as hard as prestige drama when they’re well-crafted and fearless. A big milestone for indie horror on the web.

4. Hustling and Small Miracles reminded everyone that veterans still know how to deliver.
Between Sebastian La Cause’s continued run of strong performances and Judd Hirsch grabbing Supporting Actor, ISA6 honored creators who bring decades of experience to a still-growing medium.

5. Andrea Evans and Richard Hatch scored long-overdue first wins.
Two beloved veterans — Andrea Evans and Richard Hatch — finally heard their names called on ISA night, each taking home their first-ever Indie Series Award. Evans won for her deliciously sharp turn on DeVanity, while Hatch was recognized for his work on Pairings. It was a feel-good moment that proved the indie world still knows how to honor the legends who paved the way.
