The two major effects of independent films

"Winter's Bones" was the best feature film at this year's Sundance Film Festival. In addition, the reason why more people watch this independent film comes from the acting buzz of Jennifer Lawrence, a post-90s actor.
The two major functions of independent films are that from an artistic point of view, the film is separated from the high capital. Investment means losing the possibility of applying high-tech. The director can focus on the narrative of the story and the performance of the theme wholeheartedly, and most of these films are completely rooted in reality, paying particular attention to the living conditions of the people at the bottom of the society, thus attracting the broadest masses of people. The resonance of the audience is even more shocking than the visual impact of Hollywood blockbusters.
Second, independent films provide a stage for many unknown directors and actors to show themselves, especially young directors and actors. Their outstanding performance in independent films can win them the favor of blockbusters, and even lay the foundation for their careers to take off in one fell swoop. There are also some well-known stars who are willing to downgrade to star in independent films. By changing their image and breaking through the previous role restrictions, they can get the approval of their acting skills. Of course, meddling in various awards is also one of the main purposes.
