Independent film is film that has thought in it. There's no independent thought in studio films. It's collective thought.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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 love independent filmmaking. I don't agree with a lot of it, but that's the point.
Independent film is for actors that love to act.
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.
Definition of an independent film is torture with less money and time.
I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.
Independent film is not only an oxymoron; it doesn't exist anymore.
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.
To make independent films, you can't think about them too much, ponder on them too much, get overwhelmed by the enormity of it.
