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

But, I love making independent films. I love it! You create a family, and you sweat, you bleed, you cry, you shout, you laugh and you hug. It's such an extraordinary experience, making independent films.

Juno Temple

There was a golden era in film-making in Hollywood back in the 1970s, and although there is some great independent film-making in America, it's actually very hard to get independent films made in the United States. It's much more feasible from Europe.

Lenny Abrahamson

Short films are good, especially since independent films are making waves now, more than before.

Karthik Subbaraj

I've made a number of independent films that didn't receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere.

William Mapother

The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.

Guy Pearce

People are making better and better small budge independent films these days.

Mike Birbiglia

There's plenty of great independent films to do, but you can't support yourself making independent film as an actress.

Gaby Hoffmann

I'm so sick of independent films being co-opted by Hollywood. You're making a project that's small, really personal, and the first thing anyone asks in any meeting is, 'Who's in it?' I'm like, 'Are you kidding?'

Justin Lin

Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you cant support yourself making independent film as an actress.

Gaby Hoffmann

The kinds of films that I'm used to doing are independent films. They're very small character-driven pieces, and there isn't as much spectacle involved.

Sarah Gadon

You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label. There's like, 18 different independent film-financing funds. In fact, I think the children of those films are getting made. A more interesting question is whether those films are going to get seen and appreciated.

Edward Norton

Maybe I've got to admit that what I did here was enough. I can make some more films. Maybe I'll direct a film. Maybe I'll have my musical put on stage. But nothing, really, to be absolutely honest, competes with making a very successful pop band for 10 years of my life.

Gary Kemp

I've never had a good game plan. At a certain point, making independent films became more and more appealing to me because I like freshness and originality.

Jonathan Demme

Making independent films is liberating. It eliminates self-censorship, which mainstream films are infected with due to commercial priorities.

Arfi Lamba

You've got these big studio films and these tiny independent films now. It's very much either/or. With the independent films, it's always a beautiful risk - it might never be seen. With the studio films, you're conforming to the formula of what's always been in place.
