Independent producers should partner with studios for co-financing and distribution.
Smart investors prioritize debt positions to reduce risks and secure returns.
Streamers dominate the market, replacing DVDs as primary revenue drivers.

Documentary films are resurging but thrive with budgets under $2M for profitability.
Talent value varies widely; seasoned actors often provide reliable returns.
