"Indiewood is the place where Hollywood and the American independent sector meet, where lines blur and two very different kinds of cinema come together in a striking blend of creativity and commerce. This is an arena in which innovative, sometimes challenging cinema reaches out to the mainstream. Or, alternatively, a zone of duplicity and compromise in which the "true" heritage of the indie sector is co-opted as an offshoot of Hollywood. 'Indiewood' is the first book to provide objective analysis of this distinctive region of the contemporary American film landscape.
