There have been some independent IBWO movies in the past, and now a new "short" is about to premier, Feb. 18, at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival (Missoula, Montana) based on the life and times (so-to-speak) of National Aviary searcher Mark Michaels:
Hopefully, there will be a future list of other indie venues or sites it will be available at.
....Speaking of Ivorybill movies... I’ve previously had the idea for a major IBWO movie made for the big screen, so without further adieu my choices for some major players and who ought play them in the film…: ;)
Bobby Harrison………… …………Sean Penn
Chuck Hunter ............................... Dustin Hoffmann
Cyberthrush…………………………… Brad Pitt
David Luneau …………… ……….Leonardo DiCaprio
David Sibley……………..… ……..Steve Carrell
Fred Virrazzi …………………………. Jim Carrey
Gene Sparling………………………….Robert De Niro
Geoff Hill ……………………………… Kevin Costner
Jerry Jackson ……………………….. George Clooney
John Fitzpatrick ……………………. Tom Hanks
Mark Michaels ………………………… Matt Damon
Martjan Lammertink………………….Arnold Schwarzenegger

….Yo, Spielberg, can you front me a couple $$million to get this blockbuster off the ground???

ADDENDUM:
This turns out to be a two-fer day for Mark Michaels as he has a second posting on his blog today in addition to the one above. The second offering is unrelated to the upcoming film, and instead focuses on how the earlier controversy over Cornell’s Big Woods findings/arguments weighed heavily on the reception of the Project Principalis published work in Louisiana:

What weighs heavy on PP paper is there are footage of pileated with high light contrast , but still shows black trailing edges , vs a pileated taken with low contrast.
As well as juvenile red heads. But nothing indicating even blurry field marks of an IB and this paper and group is a farce . It is time for the usfw to delist the species until concrete proof and range is established so we do not have a repeat of Grand Prairie and undue influence or conservation from a team now currently trying to market a documentary and influence conservation outcomes unjustly with an unscientific concluded paper . That paper unwarranted passing any peer review.
There is zero evidence of that species in kisatchie national forest the location of their claimed study area. usfw should authorize an independent team to be sent in at this point to validate or disprove these claims from the group.
