These films were fully made in the Hollywood feature film system – major financing, producers with many other major feature films, major cast, etc. As an independent filmmaker there is no way I\’m competing to raise money with folks like Inarritu, Richard Linklater, etc. Those films are still made fully within the traditional system.
