The Next Big Thing: 8 Indie Film Stars To Keep On Your Radar

Brit Marling is a true favorite of the indie world. After turning down a career in finance, following her graduation from Georgetown, she moved to LA to pursue acting, but was disappointed by the roles available for women in the film industry. She then based her career on writing roles for herself and other women. Since then, she's written and starred in several films, including "Another Earth," "I Origins" and " The East," in which she appeared alongside Ellen Page. [Photo via @thelatingeek]
