Most indie movies are distributed by a studio. Though sometimes that studio specializes in indie films, like NEON.That is not all that indie means. It means you don't use the major studios for distribution, either
Look at any list of indie movies these days, and you will see most are affiliated with a studio distributor. That's not a rhetorical statement - you should look.
Just to be clear, I am not just some fan on the net about this topic. My wife works in the industry and has for 30 years. Most people I know work in the industry. I've consulted for the industry. I am not just making stuff up here.
