When it comes to independent studios?

We currently have some real leaders in the pack including Third Window, Second Sight, Eureka, Arrow, Shameless, Artificial Eye, Soda Pictures and BFI. Also, we have some other great niche companies which are currently DVD only like Second Run.

I remember in the late 90s and early 00s, Anchor Bay and Tartan used to be strong independents, but that has changed obviously. Anchor Bay of the old days are long gone. It used to be that we had to go to R1 for cult films/foreign films 80% of the time, and I am really liking what I am seeing the last couple of years.

I honestly can't remember the last time we had it so good locally. Shame major studios are treating us poorly, cutting off extras left and right.
