A Quote by Michael Morhaime

Activision is structured with independent studios and they give their independent studios quite a bit of autonomy.

Sometimes it's hard for me to tell the difference between independent filmmaking and studio filmmaking because all the studios have these little independent satellites. It's interesting.

Kerry Washington

I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.

Bob Odenkirk

I was around New York at a time when independent cinema was at its peak and became kind of popular and mainstream. It got some hype, culturally. After that, studios started to have independent companies within their studio system, and they found bigger stars willing to do new material. That's kind of what it's turned into.

Parker Posey

Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.

Jesse Eisenberg

The studios didn't really take independent films seriously, till 'Sweetback' was such a financial success.

Melvin Van Peebles

I think distribution has become a lot harder. With the whole explosion of digital video, there's just a lot more people making films. Distributors have a lot more choice. I do think there's an audience out there for small films. It's obvious to me what the studios do: they've co-opted independent film. They all have their independent arm. They can afford to crush the competition.

Steve Buscemi

I'm interested in the kind of anti-establishment ethos that goes with making an independent movie. I like to bring that to studio films - usually to the consternation of the studios.

Doug Liman

I'm first and foremost a company man, surprising as that is. I love Warner Brothers. That's where I have a deal. That's where I've been for years. So I don't really interact too much with other studios and do things with other studios and I don't necessarily read scripts from other studios.

Todd Phillips

The studios aren't lining up to make films about black protagonists, black people being autonomous and independent.

Ava DuVernay

It's about really being considerate of the culture in the game studios that Activision buys. That's the biggest difference between us and any of our competitors.

Bobby Kotick

Because I don't give the studios advanced quotes or an advanced look at my reviews. I think the readers deserve to read my reviews before the studios do.

Roger Ebert

I want to go create my own independent content and entertainment, in new models and in new ways, and essentially show studios and networks that people are good.

Zachary Levi

Studios were just run differently. There really was a head of a studio. There were people who loved their studios. Who worked for their studios and were loaned out to other people and everybody sort of got a piece. Well now there's a handful now.

Sharon Gless

I went to underground music studios. In the studios, I learned that you can make a movie without a permit.

Bahman Ghobadi

Movie studios, Hollywood studios, by and large are not making the kind of movies that I go to see.

Nicholas Meyer

The movie studios, they only like to make - I make a joke, but it's true - if the movie has the word "man" and a number in the title, they'll make it. If it doesn't have that, it's an R-rated raunchy comedy, and that's it. Any other movie that you're going to make is going to be an independent one. So for filmmakers who want to do something other than "man" and a number, it's either independent films or television, which is like the place for real creative filmmakers to go.
