independent film production

Independent film production involves creating movies outside the major studio system, often with smaller budgets and more creative freedom. Filmmakers typically handle funding through personal savings, private investors, or grants, and often oversee all aspects of the project from script to distribution. This process allows for more artistic control and unique storytelling, but it also requires careful budgeting, resourcefulness, and navigating distribution channels independently. Independent films can be shown at festivals, online, or in limited theaters, and they often aim to tell diverse or niche stories that may notfit mainstream commercial criteria.
