King Ivory Stars Reveal How Indie Action Differs From Studio Movies (Like Hiring Actors Off the Street)
Ben Foster, known for his roles in films like Hell or High Water and 3:10 to Yuma, enjoys making both big-budget studio films and smaller independent projects. He notes that independent filmmaking creates a strong sense of teamwork, where everyone supports each other. He explains that these films often require more preparation and a willingness to be creative, and praises writer/director John Swab for being well-prepared, collaborative, and focused on quality. Foster suggests that independent films allow for more spontaneity on set compared to larger productions where creative decisions might be more restricted, ultimately leading to a more authentic and unfiltered result.
