1990s independent film

1990s independent film refers to movies produced outside the major studio system, often with lower budgets and more creative freedom. This era saw filmmakers exploring diverse stories, experimental techniques, and authentic voices that mainstream Hollywood typically overlooked. It was marked by a rise in film festivals like Sundance, which helped promote these projects. Notable examples include "Clerks" and "The Blair Witch Project," which gained cult status. The 90s indie wave expanded the diversity and artistry of cinema, emphasizing personal storytelling and innovation over big-budget spectacle.
