Independent films: Wikis     (Redirected to Independent film
article)  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  An independent
film, or indie film, is a film that is produced mostly outside
of a major film studio. The term also refers to art films which
differ markedly from most mass marketed films. In addition to
being produced by independent production companies, independent
films are often produced and/or distributed by subsidiaries of
major studios. In order to be considered independent, less than
half of a film's financing should come from a major studio.
Independent films are sometimes distinguishable by their content
and style and the way in which the filmmakers' personal artistic
vision is realized. Usually, but not always, independent films
are made with considerably lower budgets than major studio
films. Generally, the marketing of independent films is
characterized by limited release designed to build word-of-mouth
or to reach small specialty audiences.    Resistance to the
