This is a list of notable American independent films (which are also known sometimes as "specialty", "alternative", "indie", and/or "quality")[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] Hollywood studio system or traditionalarthouse /independent filmmaking yet managed to be produced, financed and distributed by the two with varying degrees of success and/or failure.[ 8]
Differences from Hollywood [ edit ] The films are often made for far less money than Hollywood films[ 9] [ 10] Robert Townsend 's 1987 satireHollywood Shuffle Richard Linklater 's 1991 countercultural pieceSlacker Kevin Smith 's 1994Gen X comedy Clerks credit cards )[ 11] [ 12] filmmaking process has to undergo less scrutiny by committees. Additionally, within theIndiewood approach the filmmaker can take as long as they need in the post-production phase of their film - whereas in Hollywood they are contracted to finish the film in a specific period of time (usually 10 weeks). In Hollywood, the film then goes on to show in focus group screenings on the studio lot. In Indiewood, the filmmakers can determine the next steps of the film. They also bear striking similarities to as well as were influenced by the "proto-indies" of the 1960s such asRobert Downey Sr 'sstill image film Chafed Elbows John Cassavetes 'sAcademy Award -nominatedFaces Brian de Palma 'sGreetings Beat Generation .[ 13] [ 14]
Many indie films were made by small companies that were created daily in the 80s and 90s to the point where most of them went bankrupt.[ 15]
Most Indiewood films are first shown atfilm festivals with the hopes of further distribution by being picked up (or purchased) by a larger film company or distributor in order to find broader audiences alongside awards consideration[ 16] [ 17] A Single Man [ 18]
The Americanindependent film , beginning in the 1910s but prior to the 1980s and first half of the 1990s,[ 19] [ 20] [ 11] race films ,[ 21] Poverty Row b movies (e.g.Republic Pictures ),[ 22] [ 23] exploitation films ,avant-garde underground cinema (when it was known as theNew American Cinema ),[ 24] [ 25] experimental animated shorts (since the mid-1930s featuring works by pioneer animatorsMary Ellen Bute andOskar Fischinger ),social realist dramas .[ 26] [ 27] [ 28] [ 14] [ 29] [ 30] [ 31] [ 32]
Many post-WWII period independent filmmakers, likeFrancis Thompson , believed that cinema is an art form and a forum for discussingsocial issues .[ 33]
A notable scholar of indie cinema isRay Carney , known for championing the works of Cassavetes andMark Rappaport .[ 34]
Throughout the middle of the 1990s, the word "Indiewood " (a.k.a. "indie boom" or "indie film movement")[ 35] [ 36] [ 4] [ 37] [ 38] [ 39] [ 40] [ 41] [ 4]
Indiewood divisions gain from expert experience of the niche industry by hiring leading independent personalities such asHarvey Weinstein [ 42] Disney fold after the exit of the Weinsteins,[ 43] [ 44] James Schamus , former joint head ofGood Machine alongside producerTed Hope , atFocus Features .[ 45]
