Sentiment: POSITIVE
Independent film is almost nonexistent right now, because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now, because it costs so much to open a movie.
Independent films are where you really get to cut your teeth and have some fun and do the things that mainstream Hollywood doesn't want to do.
I would define independent film as a movie that is not financed by any of the smaller film companies. Because then, those are movies that in all likelihood are made without stars. And then they have to rely just on the material.
I always went to see independent films, they're the movies I'm usually most excited to see.
You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
Basically, independent film doesn't exist anymore. It does if you have two or three stars in your film, but it's just very difficult.
Independent films, for the most part, to me, are not so independent. They often feel like people auditioning for a big commercial career. They often do not have independent spirit to them.
There's plenty of great independent films to do, but you can't support yourself making independent film as an actress.
I would like to do more independent films.
Independent film is for actors that love to act.
