Independent
see all genres ›The whole notion of independence applies to films made outside major studios though, occasionally, the studios will distribute independently-produced films that they acquire at assorted film festivals. Independent films are often characterized as personal projects with low budgets and limited releases. Because of this, they usually feature a high degree of artistic investment and frequently explore unconventional subject material.
