A typical distribution deal costs between $100,000-$150,000.
Theaters cost an average of $10,000.

Why is Hollywood calling this Hollywood?
The first film industry was founded in California in 1887 by D.W. Griffith. It was named after Los Angeles, at the time known as Hollywood.
Because it was such a fascinating place, people kept coming back for more. People would come from all over just to see what was happening there.
Today, Hollywood is still very much part of our culture. There are movies, TV shows, music videos and commercials. And we call them all "Hollywood."
Why are so few independent films ever distributed?
Many indie filmmakers believe that distributors will take their films.
Because the film is loved by the public, they believe distributors will be interested in it.
However, this is seldom the case. Distributors often benefit from independent filmmakers.
They might delay a film’s release date until after the awards show has finished.
They delay the release of a low-budget movie until after the summer blockbuster seasons has started.
Distributors are also trying to keep films off the streets until audiences have already spent hundreds upon thousands of dollars on tickets or popcorn.
They don't wish to lose those profits.
