American Independent Cinema: Second Edition - 9781474416849

This second edition examines American independent film from the very beginnings of US cinema and includes chapters on independence within the studio system, B Films, exploitation cinema and independent cinema in the age of the conglomerates. In the 10 years since the first edition of the book was published, there have been a number of developments within the film industry in general, many of which impact upon American independent cinema. Social media, web 2:0, mobile entertainment, digital production and distribution, were all inincipient phase during the mid-2000s but have been moving with giant strides ever since. In the process they have redefined all media sectors, including the US independent cinema one, which a new chapter within this second edition will tackle.
