Independent Film and the Reshoot



Independent Film and the Reshoot

If you ask me what's the biggest difference between studio and independent productions, I wouldn't answer the length of the shooting schedule or luxuriousness of the craft service. No, I'd say it's the ability to do reshoots. While studio films can hone their stories through test screenings and additional photography, changing endings (Fatal Attraction) and even entire third acts (World War Z), too many independents wind up with depleted contingencies and unwilling investors when additional photography needs arise in post.
