@film.discussion: Robert Redford gets brutally honest about the reality of independent filmmaking. While the industry loves to romanticize the indie spirit, the actual cost often falls on the creators and their networks. It’s a cycle of asking friends to work for nothing, fueled by passion but lacking the sustainability to truly survive Hollywood’s bottom-line culture. How long can a community truly support itself on goodwill alone? #RobertRedford #IndependentFilm #FilmmakingLife #IndieCinema #Sundance
