How can I render a ManyToManyField as checkboxes?

Question

I\'m making a game link site, where users can post links to their favorite web game. When people post games they are supposed to check what category the game falls into.

from django.db import models
from django.forms.models import ModelForm
from django.forms.widgets import CheckboxSelectMultiple

class Company(models.Model):  
    industries = models.ManyToManyField(Industry, blank=True, null=True)

class CompanyForm(ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = Company
        fields = ("industries")

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        super(CompanyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.fields["industries"].widget = CheckboxSelectMultiple()
        self.fields["industries"].queryset = Industry.objects.all()
