Hollywood Movie

How can I tell if a movie is a hollywood movie and not independent?

I am doing my dissertation on the male gaze in 21st century hollywood cinema but am having a bit of trouble making sure films are specifically HOLLYWOOD films and not independent…can anyone help?

You go to www.imdb.com and look up the movie title. Click on the link (which will be in the long list of the left hand side of the screen) that says “Company Credits” – If it was produced by a major studio it will show up under production company. If it was independent, you will only see the major studios listed under distributors.

Here are links to two independent films:

Here are links to two Hollywood films:

See the difference? Hope this helps.
