How to Be Indie

How to Be Indie is a Canadian television sitcom that aired on YTV from 2009 to 2011. The program is a single-camera series intended for a youth audience.

The series was created by Vera Santamaria, John May and Suzanne Bolch, and ran for two seasons of 52 episodes, with its final episode airing on October 24, 2011, on YTV in Canada, and May 26, 2012, on Disney Channel in the United Kingdom.

The show's main character is a 13-year-old Indian Canadian teenager named Indira "Indie" Mehta. The program follows Indie's journey as she tries to get the most out of life despite the trials of junior high school and the expectations of her Indian parents. She is joined by her two best friends, Marlon Parks and Abigail "Abi" Flores.

Indie often falls into the trap of caring more about what her peers think of her than who she wants to be herself, and consequently spends a lot of time trying to impress her classmates. When not focusing on Indie, the show focuses on Marlon and Abi.

The show was produced by Heroic Film Company in association with DHX Media and YTV and created by writer Vera Santamaria, Suzanne Bolch, and John May. Season one filmed 26 twenty-five-minute episodes and first premiered on 2 October 2009. The show was a part of YTV's "Big Fun Weeknights."

A second season began filming in summer 2010, shooting five episodes, and resumed filming in November 2010. The second season premiered on October 11, 2010. The series was not picked up for a third season.

How to Be Indie was nominated for a Gemini Award in the category of "Best Writing in a Children's or Youth Program or Series" for the episode "How to Get Plugged In".
