#independent film

I teach at USC. I have a big class of 360 kids, only about a fifth of whom are film majors. I don't just show the Hollywood blockbusters. I show independent films, foreign films, documentaries. ↗

You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label. ↗

I like independent films... European films. I do go and see popular films as well because my kids force me. ↗

It's becoming increasingly harder and harder; there's no such thing as independent film anymore. There aren't any, they don't exist. In the old days you could go and get a certain amount of the budget with foreign sales, now everybody wants a marketable angle. ↗

There are lots of great movies coming out of the U.S. but it's not something I've ever really been interested in. They're great films but I much prefer the smaller independent films, which are more thought provoking and experimental. ↗

I'm always struck by the kids who turn up in New York and LA, and places in between. Chicago. Wanting to do theater, wanting to do independent film. Wanting to break into television or radio. ↗

I knew nothing about the independent film industry. I didn't know much about the industry itself. All I knew was how to watch movies, how to enjoy them, how to hate them, how not to like them. ↗

This fall I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm starring in a film, an independent film. ↗

When a film like Chris Nolan's Memento cannot get picked up, to me independent film is over. It's dead. ↗
