Indie Films Aim for Success Amidst a Crowded Summer Season
This weekend, some smaller movie companies are releasing their films because the big studios don't have any new movies out.
Some of the movies are 'Oh, Hi!', which is a comedy about dating, and 'House On Eden,' a scary movie made by social media stars.
There's also a movie called 'The Home' with a famous actor, and some other smaller films like documentaries and movies from other countries.
These smaller movies hope to get a chance to be seen by people who want something different from the big blockbuster films.
Several independent films are opening this weekend, taking advantage of a less crowded release schedule.
Sony Pictures Classics' 'Oh, Hi!', IFC's 'House On Eden,' and Roadside Attraction's 'The Home' are among the notable releases.
'Oh, Hi!' is a romantic comedy, 'House On Eden' is an influencer-led horror film, and 'The Home' is a horror film starring Pete Davidson.
Additional releases include documentaries and foreign films such as 'Folktales,' 'Diciannove,' and 'Shoshana'.
These independent films aim to attract audiences amid a summer season dominated by major studio releases.
