Recently, “Beautiful Boy” wrapped its filming and production. This film, produced by Eric Gozlan of Gold Rush Entertainment and by Lee Clay, is classified as an indie film. What does this mean? The indie movie is an independent project that is not backed by a major studio.
This status often offers a number of benefits. The themes explored in an indie film are often controversial ones that wouldn’t pass muster with the major studios. You’ll often see experimental, and interesting, filming techniques and controversial subjects with indie films. Usually, in an indie film, the director and crew have complete artistic control over the production.
Indie films also offer opportunities to actors and directors who might not otherwise get a break. “Beautiful Boy” introduces the directorial debut of actor Shawn Ku.
