Pig had a 3 million budget and painting with invisible hands was produced by MGM. These aren't in any way indie.
I know sometimes we get good movies and my comment is clearly hyperbole, but with the current price tag on making a movie, the only way you can make a movie without asking permission is with a fat trustfund.
Ok well Hundreds of Beavers was $150,000 budget and came out in 2022. A different man I have been told is great.
It's just needlessly down bashing based on the fact that you aren't participating with the smaller budget movies.
Yes it's better when it's economically equal to jump in and let more people tell stories but people will keep making them anyways and I think it's best to recognize them doing it. It's always expensive to make a movie and always has been or we lower our standards to not require anything more than what is possible.
It feels like you are complaining you don't have the indie scene you want yet but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I've been enjoying low budget indie movies for years with spaghetti man and Velocipastor.
My bad, I wasn't trying to bash it or complain about it. My comment is more in line with the accessibility and not at all about the quality but I can see how it could be perceived that way with my use of words like non-existant.
