I'm not one of those people that says anyone who doesn't like this type of film is an ignorant fool (there are plenty I don't like) but 99% seems a pretty high percentage; I think you're being a little harsh.
Well. I don't know if film goers are so much content with a lot of the crap hollywood produces. I think they have no choice. True 99% is a little harsh. But i do feel the vast majority of indie films are crap. But some are very good.
I think the best indie films are the ones when the producers/directors, don't treat it as a indie film and just try and make the best film they can. Some indie films are so intent on being seen as a indie film that it loses it self. Same as a lot of big budget hollywood films. They are so interested in the big whiz bang special effects etc. That they forget the plot line.
I think both genres would be a great deal better off, if they took a leaf out of each other books.
