{"product_id":"9781904048701","title":"Independent Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eJust what is \"independent\" cinema? D. K. Holm, columnist for Kevin Smith's website and author of \u003ci\u003eRobert Crumb\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eQuentin Tarantino\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e aims to define a term that can be difficult to distinguish from categories such as avant-garde, underground, experimental, or art films. By contrasting studio-era Hollywood with changes in the business since the 1970s and chronicling the rise of companies such as Miramax and New Line, this book shows the birth of a commercial environment in which the new independent cinema could emerge. Detailed assessments and previously unpublished interviews with filmmakers, such as James Mangold \u003ci\u003e(Walk the Line\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e Jill Sprecher \u003ci\u003e(Clockwatchers\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e and Guy Maddin (\u003ci\u003eThe Saddest Music in the World\u003c\/i\u003e) show the vastly different roles independent cinema can play in different hands.
