(From the Sundance Program Guide) As the industry has matured and more independent filmmakers and creative producers find themselves working with some affiliation to studios, the age-old question, "independent of what?" arises. Are we experiencing another age of independent artists who are working successfully within the studio system? If there are indeed more options to set up a project, where do producers and filmmakers take their creativity, and how do they hang onto it? What are the implications for optioning and developing material as well as gathering creative elements? How do writers and directors go about maintaining creative autonomy? The panel featured guests work within the studio system, those who stay outside it, and those who go back and forth. Effie Brown, Todd Haynes, Ted Hope, Michael London, Alexander Payne, Christine Vachon, and moderator Scott Macaulay for a discussion of creative independence.
