Louise Levison's latest newsletter is out, and her last paragraph says it all.
The last 12 years seems to make it clear that whether the
number is five, six, eight or ten, with whatever math algorithms they want to use, indie films will
win in the Best Picture category more times than not. It still has something to do with three
simple words ― story, story, story.
Louse Levison's latest newsletter is out, and she's giving tips on how to approach people at the upcoming AFM. What is also interesting, however, is her chart of revenues and costs for low budget films. From what I can see, the lower budgetted ones have a better chance of making money than the bigger budget ones. And I've been seeing some evidence of this in my research.
Her September, 2015 newsletter gives a good update on various situations, in particular the Relativity Media saga.
That said, I'm finding her numbers to be very interesting, because there are a number of movies for less than one million, and they more than make their money back. That's very interesting indeed.

Louise Levision has spoke to industry executives on how the film market is slower than usual, and the consensus seems to be yes, this is a slow period. But all industries go through that, so we can hope for an upswing again.
Again, the interesting thing are the numbers, especially for low-budget movies. I did some more digging, and, while there is some data, there is a need for greater detail. As I write this, I am fascinated by the production approach of Space: 1999, which tried to have the TV shows with cinematic quality, and that means, often, trying to do more for less. That is intriguing to me.
