Independent Film @ Showest

A panel of independent film leaders assembled this week to discuss the state of the independent landscape and the challenge of working around "the big boys" with innovation and passion...

Yari said that tentpoles "suck the wind out of the marketplace." To combat that, he said, a required element of indie filmmaking is passion, while a majority of big-budget films don't have to have champions... they just have to be released more like a general product. "If you are fortunate enough to have a good movie, but you're in the void, then passion goes a long way," said Yari, who released to much success "The Illusionist" in August, a month not usually known for major indie movement.
