Independent Films


I believe everyone's currently into Twilight the movie, I'm one of them too >< and I have been searching for more details about Twilight and got to know that Twilight is actually an independent movie by Summit Entertainment.

Let me briefly explain what independent films are, or some called it indie films...
They are films produced outside Hollywood studio system and most of them are from foreign countries. They are much more smaller in budget, their equipments are simpler ones and this goes to their editing softwares too...

Whereas for Summit Entertainment, it is orignally from America and it was founded in 1996. However, it only became fully independent in 2006 under the direction of former executive of Paramount Pictures- Rob Friedman.

A few films that were produced by them surprised me. This including Memento (2000); Step Up (2006) and it's amazing to see that the budget is only $12 million and its gross revenue hit up to $114,191,952 wow!unexpected...; P2 and Nim's Island.

Here you go! Just a lil information for every movie lovers :)
