How does this representation relate to the differences implicit to mainstream and independent filmmaking practices? What are the implications of this representation for stardom and star studies?

After the restructuring of the Hollywood studio systems, the lack of unique niche films sparked the growth of independent cinema in America, which began in the middle of the 1980s. The large Hollywood studio system operated like a Ford Production factory during this time, pounding out action-themed, high-budget blockbuster movies one after the other, aimed at the country's largest audience of young children and teenagers.

They did this by leaving an unexplored market or hole, which was eventually filled by independent filmmakers made up of a group of young women and African Americans who made films on extremely tight budgets that addressed social concerns and injustices for the average person. A feature or short film that is made independently of the big studio system and is also produced and released by independent entertainment businesses is known as an independent film, independent movie, indie film, or indie movie. The groundbreaking silent film The Birth of a Nation, which debuted in 1915, was the first big Hollywood smash. It was the longest, most lucrative, most technically sophisticated movie made at the time. It guaranteed the survival of feature-length movies as well as the acceptance of film as a serious medium.
