This site is about films. Mostly, films created by independent filmmakers. It is the curse of the filmmaker that movie making is the most expensive art form, requiring huge amounts of money and work by many individuals. Most movies are created by people with money, those people want a return on their investment and there isn't much room for artistic license within that framework. A single person can't go out and make a feature length film on their own.
Many people are involved and influence the outcome.
Hence, movies aren't recognised as an art form as 'serious' as literature, painting, music, sculpting or theatre etc. The main reason is many people don't ever get to see artistic films. This site is here to provide information about such films so that more people become aware of them and can go and see them. Independent here means the filmmaker usually had the initial idea and then got somebody to invest money in the project. Just like a sculptor would.
