Best Indie Movies for Those Who Appreciate Auteur Cinema (Bored Panda)

"'Indie' is short for 'independent,' and the idea behind it is that there is no big studio backing the film financially or logistically. Which, in turn, means that the author – usually the director, who sometimes also writes their own project – has to work independently on securing the funds. Why would any filmmaker want to do this? Sometimes, major studios don't believe in the potential of the story and are reluctant to invest in it. But if the filmmaker is confident they have great material, instead of putting it off they decide to go indie. They might also opt to shoot independently because they want to retain their artistic say, as studios can often interfere with the script, casting, and other details. Indie movies have proven to be a great starting point for new filmmakers who rose to fame after their first or second independent film was acclaimed by the audiences and critics." - boredpanda.com
