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

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

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

The majority of work I do is in independent films, where you're lucky if you have five takes.

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

You've got these big studio films and these tiny independent films now. It's very much either/or. With the independent films, it's always a beautiful risk - it might never be seen. With the studio films, you're conforming to the formula of what's always been in place.
