Reviews
'Indie 2.0 offers a valuable combination of close critical analyses of several key works, discussions of film production and distribution practices, and considerations of critical and cultural reception. Geoff King weaves these different kinds of commentary together into a convincing and timely study on the renewal of indie cinema that draws on many of the historically rooted conventions and appeals of alternative film practice in the twentieth century.' Michael Z. Newman, author of Indie: An American Film Culture
