“I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios.

“Innumerable conditions must be exquisitely optimized for the support of humanity and of civilization. Many of them are highly time variable. Evidence showing that a wide variety of independent conditions all reached optimality during the identical narrow epoch when human beings appeared on the cosmic and terrestrial scene testifies of supernatural design and purpose rather than mere coincidence.” HumansPurposeHumanityHuman BeingsSupportConditionsDesignCivilizationSceneEvidenceIndependentMereWideVarietyCosmicCoincidenceIdenticalVariablesEpoch Author:Hugh Jackman
“Well, the whole trick to doing an independent film, is to keep great pace and momentum. You're shooting maybe three times as many scenes in one day that you would on a big, luxurious budget on a luxurious schedule, and you try not to sacrifice quality for that. Things are just compressed, but essentially the same.” TryingWellsWholeBigsFilmThreeQualitySacrificeSceneOne DayIndependentTricksShootingBudgetsPaceSchedulesThree TimesMomentumIndependent FilmLuxurious Author:Kevin Kline

“I've known Kyle O'Reilly since 2009. Me and him actually met each other when we had our very first match against each other for Gabe Sapolsyky's DragonGate USA show. Me and Kyle went in there and we had a match that kind of made waves throughout the independent scene as far as us getting our names out there. We both got signed to Ring of Honor at the exact same time.” FirstsKindMadeShowsNamesKnownHonorMetsSceneIndependentWaveRingsUsaShow Me Author:Adam Cole

“Right after the 9/11 attacks I was living near Oakland in California with a buddy who had also grown up in the skate/punk scene of the 80s. We were so shell-shocked from the attacks that we sort of regressed into this childlike mode of filling our apartment with '80s memorabilia. We got all of our favorite skateboard decks off of eBay, bought a bunch of old independent trucks, we got a credit card so that we could buy 720 off of a videogame vendor, we sat around listening to T.S.O.L. and The Misfits playing 720 and pretending that we were still living in our childhood.” StillsChildhoodListeningSceneOur ChildrenIndependentCreditBunchCardsCaliforniaSatPretendingPunkApartmentShellsShocked80sFillingTruckBuddyCredit CardDeckChildlikeSkatesMisfitsEbayVendorsVideogameOaklandMemorabilia Author:Rick Remender
