Independent production has a money problem, but money is not the whole problem.

More money can get one movie made. Better infrastructure can make the next ten movies more possible. That difference matters because independent production often has to rebuild the same missing support structure from scratch on every project.

The better model starts at the script stage, understands budget reality early, and uses the right infrastructure to turn limitation into design rather than emergency.
