Indie Auteurs

Despite the hyper saturation of blockbuster films over the last several years, indie films have steadily been making a comeback. From the explosive growth and success of indie studios like A24 and Neon to DIY filmmakers like Sean Baker, Miranda July, Halina Reijn, RaMell Ross, Jane Schoenbrun, and others bursting into mainstream film consciousness, indie film is (finally) back in the spotlight in a significant way for the first time since the 1990s and early 2000s. Explore the roots of global film with our series Indie Auteurs, a retrospective of the early work of some of the names that would come to define the IndieWood ethos and aesthetic.
