Comment on Indie movies are having a surprising comeback in a bleak time for Hollywood

The budget constraints on these Indie movies can often make the team behind them get incredibly creative in their filmmaking. While I think that has been beneficial and exciting in a lot of movies, it must be terribly restrictive to directors and the other creatives who have to jump through so many hoops to get films made. I think ultimately, it just means that costs will get cut in places that no one wants to see. That is a shame. I wish there was room for more mid budget movies to let these great directors have more room to breathe financially. That way the crew and cast are not limited and getting paid the bare minimum.

I hope the lower budgets stay a while, and would like to see more of the crews compensated with percentages. High production budgets make studios more risk averse, which directly harms the artistic value of the output imo
