Are Independent films dominating Hollywood?

Post by netmankt »

Some of the best movies go unnoticed and are later discovered after word of it being good is spread by word of mouth. Independent films are fast becoming the only films that are of a qualitative nature. Some of the big name produced films hardly ever come close to the quality of Independent films.

Siren was written and produced by Michele Fiore-Kaime who as a newcomer has really taken the Indie film industry by storm. In fact the name of her character in the film is “Storm”, a 35 year old woman that finds her life without meaning after her daughter leaves for college. She pursues her dream she put on hold for 20 years. The comic elements, drama, and good music all make for a very entertaining film. The best way to describe it is Rocky meets Field of Dreams. To top it off it was filmed in high definition DIVX!

Indeed they are however many big Hollywood companies are buying films from Independent filmamkers to increase sales. They also change the story or characters. We need to get back to the original stories and characters.:)

Never heard of Siren............................

Independent films are not always the best, they are a good alternative. I don't have time to go to the movies only once or twice a year, so I tdoesn't matter much to me either way. Most of the movies up for Oscar's this year were so unappealing I would never see any of them, even in a DVD format.
