"A self-styled independent movie studio is announcing its launch Monday by putting together the two things that independent films lack most: distribution and financing.

DF Indie Studios, headed by two New York corporate restructuring experts, is starting with about $300 million in loans and distribution deals, and is about halfway to raising $100 million in equity, its founders say.

The founders, Mary Dickinson and Charlene Fisher, plan to make and distribute 10 to 12 films a year that cost $10 million or less to produce. They expect to guarantee those movies theatrical release in the U.S., but only after putting them through the profit-focused "greenlighting" approval process generally seen in major studios."
