I'm a bit confused on the specifics of funding a movie. If you get a script funded by a studio, does that mean it's no longer an independent film? Are there studios that only fund independent films as opposed to blockbusters, or does the phrase "independent" mean "no studio"?
If that's the case, then does funding a movie independently simply mean going around and getting investments and then making it on your own, and then trying to sell it to a studio later for distribution? If so, who would you generally get to invest in your film (besides Kickstarter), like would you go to production companies? Just looking to get this cleared up cause im new to all this
