Hollywood spends billions advertising these films. They spend millions making them. They also spend millions marketing them. How many end up being released in theaters?
Most likely, the answer is around 200-300. So what happens to all those other 2,700+ films? They are either distributed as direct-to–video releases or simply left in storage.

What is the difference between an independent film and a film in another language?
A film made independently is typically done by one filmmaker, who makes all the decisions.
However, foreign language films are typically produced by a larger production group.
They often hire actors, writer, and directors from abroad.
To ensure the dialogue sounds natural, professional translators are also hired.
Why are there so few independent films that get released?
Most indie filmmakers assume that their films will get picked up by distributors.
Because they are confident that the public will love their film, they believe distributors would be willing to buy it.
But, it is very rare that this happens. Distributors often benefit from independent filmmakers.
They use tactics such as delaying a film's release date until after awards season has ended.
They might delay the release of low-budget films until after the summer blockbuster series has begun.
Distributors may also keep films from the public until people have already spent hundreds of money on tickets, popcorn or candy.

Why don’t more filmmakers use crowdfunding platforms like Indiegogo, Kickstarter, and others?
Crowdfunding platforms are fantastic because they allow you direct contact with potential investors.

A second letter confirms acceptance if the nominee accepts the nomination. The Hollywood Chamber of commerce charges $25, and then the money is sent to the Department of Cultural Affairs of the City of Los Angles.
The department issues a check payable the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which then sends the check directly to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays the applicant or organization. The fee is then paid to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce at $12.50. The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs gets the rest.
