The Business of Indie
After mentioning Variety Editor Peter Part’s dire op-ed Why Art House Movies are on the Endangered Species List in an earlier post, and then mentioning how promising Good looked, a film premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, I figured the following article would be of some interest.
But as Anthony Kaufman mentions in his article TORONTO ‘08 | Assessing the Business Landscape as TIFF Gets Underway this Week, “Myths die hard in the film business. But the fairytale that says an independent movie goes into a film festival, sparks a bidding war and gets sold for millions and millions of dollars is fading fast.”
The entire article, which can be read here, focuses on how the distribution process works for independent film. Basically, movie buffs see a trailer or here some news for an unsigned film, and then read the reviews from the press who have seen it at a festival like that upcoming in Toronto. If the film is lucky, it will be picked up by a studio, and then released anywhere from a few theaters in New York and LA, to the golden ticket, a few thousand or more theaters across the country. Well according to Kaufman, things in the Indie marketplace may be changing. The article is an interesting read for any indie film lover curious about how the movies get from the factory to your plate.
