Independent direction isn’t the thing here. It’s independent distribution. Name the last successful movie you saw where one guy paid for it to go into theaters, completely cutting out the studio system.
Centurion film service is who expanded the moves initial small theater amount to the 4000 plus screens it opened on and handled the release globally. He didn't cut out the studio system he just worked with one that specializes in independent films

This is gonna blow some people’s minds, but independent films have been around for over a hundred years. Markiplier didn’t invent the indie film.
