	Independent film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An independent film (or indie film) is a film initially produced without financing or distribution from a major movie studio.
		Until the advent of digital alternatives, the cost of professional film equipment and stock was a major obstacle to being able to produce, direct, or star in a traditional studio-quality film.
		Full-length films are often showcased at film festivals such as Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival, the Slamdance Film Festival, the UK's Raindance Film Festival, or the Cannes Film Festival.
