CNM: Edge of Hollywood Cinema

Independent filmmakers were big way back in Hollywood. Being an independent filmmaker is really hard; first off, the budget? Second, how will you make your film go far enough for you and your film to be recognized?

These independent filmmakers want to be independent, and being independent, they choose everything for their films; the style of directing, the narration, the plot and so on. And what’s another challenge for them is to be known in the film industry even if they are just indie film directors.

One thing about independent filmmakers want is uniqueness. 

Being mainstream; it’s a big no no for these independent filmmakers. Expressing their own way of directing and through it, they can even express their opinions through their films. They would’ve been nobody if they did go mainstream with the films.

I was fascinated with the African-American stereotyping, even in films. Before, African americans were not allowed to have a bed scene. They weren’t allowed to have an all black cast. It was pretty obvious that racism was present and thick before in the film industry.

Independent filmmakers just want to show what they got; and how they do it, is up to them. They can use the most unique concepts in filmmaking, with just a short amount of budget.
