I don't think American independent films have ever really been particularly experimental, except for the original guys from the '60s who were huge influences, like Stan Brakhage, Robert Breer, and Stan van der Beek. They were the true independents. ↗

As far as acting in films, there is not much out there that is very interesting to do. The ones that are interesting to me are independent films and they have trouble raising money. With people putting their money into blockbusters, there is not much left for the independents. ↗

And, so yeah, I'll always want to work in independent films because you're not forced into a category or a formula. ↗

You know, independent films have been institutionalized, practically. Every studio has got a boutique arthouse label. ↗
