Types of Indie Films Part 1: Fan Favorite
Little Miss Sunshine is a perfect example of a Fan Favorite. It is charming, funny, and easily accessible. The question becomes, how do you make your film like this? Generally the fan favorite deals with light subject matter in many different subjects so that everyone in the audience can feel like they have lived part of the film. Also, the fan favorite tens to have many main characters for the same reason, so each person in the audience can identify with a character.
The dialogue in these films tends to be witty, kind of like the group of characters against the world…
It helps to make the film family friendly because if any indie film has a chance of making in big it is the fan favorite, and you don’t want to do anything to hamper that potential success.
