Movie Trailer: ‘Red Eagle’, Thailand’s Own Dark, Gritty Superhero

But is that not the definition of Indie... Low Budget?

No. While they normally have that in common, the definition of an indie film is one that is funded and produced independently from the filmmakers and not by major studios. Technical definitions say that as long as less than half a film's budget comes from a major studio, it's still and indie film.

The Star Wars films are technically independent because George Lucas provided the funding for them, and they were distributed by 20th Century. It's not about the size of the budget, but about who funds it; the filmmakers or a major studio.

I agree. Indie should be re defined as low budget films, that way we know who the real film makers are. Id be impressed with this if it were a real indie film, not a high budget so called indie film.

I mean Fox even has a company that will dump a few thousand into films and they are still called indie films. Doesnt make sense to me.
