What goes into making an independent film? 

There are a variety of reasons why some people prefer making an independent film. That is, the production of a film which sits outside of the traditional studio system. Independent filmmaking can be an excellent option for filmmakers. Particularly those who are just starting out or who are working with a limited budget. Independent films aka ‘indie films,’ are films whose substance, voice, and style are more directly within the creator’s control. Indie filmmakers are able to have a stronger hand in the production of their films. This is because they do not have access to a large budget and a large crew. As a result, they also have more creative leeway to tell the kind of stories they want to tell. 

  • Start with the script.
  • Budget sensibly.
  • Choose your crew wisely.
  • Onboard the cast but consider the cost.
  • Plan for all scenarios on shoot days.
  • Prioritise your post-production.
  • Film Festivals are your friend when making an independent film.
