What is an independent movie?
Independent film is often considered an antidote to the main Hollywood blockbuster. In the beginning, the independent film was everything that was not the main movie films Films. While Hollywood sold films that were safe, escapist and mega-expident, independent were the opposite. Many of the large independent directors financed their films through very unconventional methods. Robert Rodriguez sold his body to medical trials to finance his first film. One director showed a traffic accident to get money from insurance money for his independent film. Credit cards, loans from family and friends and savings will go to the passion of the director for filming their own movie.
In the 1990s, an independent film underwent a significant change. The main studios would usually not bother to touch India because they were not necessary profit, but the small film company Called Miramax was helpful to change the mind of the study. Owners Miramax, Harvey and Bob Weinstein have seen they can buy movies from independentFilm directors and make huge profits. Compared to studio images, Indies was made for very little money, relatively fast and with the first directors and screenwriters. Independent films began to produce hundreds of millions of dollars around the world and began to pay attention to the studios.
Sundance Film Festival was a place where I saw the first screening of independent films. The management of the studio began to appear to invent hot films from hot new directors. Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith and Gus van Sant were all independent film directors who create the top of Grossing's top films for very little money.
Independent film directors are enthusiastic about their films. When Barbet Schroder made the film Barfly , his production money was suddenly interrupted and the film was closed. Legend says Schroder has entered the producer's office and stood in front of him with a chainsaw andHe claimed to cut off his own fingers if the film was not restarted. He managed to get the attention of the producer, respect and money for the film.
Independent films have believable lines and realistic characters and often immerse themselves in the darker side of life that would not affect the studies. Now that the studios have fingers in the financing of many independent films, creativity seems to be suppressed. Studios cut, reshoot and change the ends of many independent films to make them tastier for the mainstream audience.
There will always be film director Maverickors who thumb noses in studios. Hopefully, these directors will continue to exist and bring originality to the film screen. If not, there may be a student movie shooting on a digital camera with his friends to bring something new to the screen.
