Chapter 25
Independent Filmmaking
INTRODUCTION
When I started this chapter, I had no idea just how incredibly vast the topic was going to be or how overwhelming it would be to encapsulate enough of the key elements and cram them all into one single chapter. So I decided to divide the material into the following two chapters — this one, which covers more of the basics and business end of independent filmmaking, and the next (Chapter 26), which primarily focuses on low-budget filmmaking. Although each section of these two chapters could be an entire book in itself, what you’re getting is an overview of the independent and low-budget fields as well as several resources, so you can continue to gather more information as needed.
