“Part of what makes independent filmmaking such an admirable endeavor is that it’s firmly rooted in a rugged sense of resourcefulness and problem solving.

Whereas high-end Hollywood producers are more likely to throw money at a problem, independent filmmakers are forced to solve that problem through creativity and a never-give-up DIY attitude. For them, procuring more money just isn’t an option, so if they want to see their film to completion, they have to find other ways to work around problems.“
