OTT Shows, Once Indie Film Friends, Now Buying Them for Pocket Change?!
- What’s Inside
- Our shock about OTT prices
- Why this matters for indie movies
- Our thoughts
We just saw something that made us go, ‘Whoa!’ Remember when OTT giants were all about boosting indie films? Like cheering them on from the sidelines. Now, it feels different.
We’re hearing whispers that these same platforms are snapping up indie movies. For prices as low as Rs 30 lakh. That’s… not a lot. Especially for a film that took so much heart and effort to make.
It feels like the vibe has shifted. We thought they were partners. Now it feels more like a quick grab. We’re used to seeing bright, bold aesthetics from these platforms. This feels a bit muted.
It makes us wonder about the filmmakers. The ones pouring their souls into their art. Are they getting a fair deal? It’s tough to see that spark for indie cinema dimming.
Our Take
Honestly? This is a bit of a bummer. We love independent films. They bring so much fresh energy and unique stories. It would be a shame if the financial side squeezed out that creativity. We hope the platforms remember why they got into indie films in the first place. For the art. For the story. Not just the bargain.
