I've been blessed in my career to be able to do studio and independent films.

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

Independent film is film that has thought in it. There's no independent thought in studio films. It's collective thought.

People are making better and better small budge independent films these days.

Apparently I work for free, look at some of the independent films I've done.

A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.
