However, one company, Fremantle, has managed to thrive by adapting to the new reality.

The company's success lies in its ability to find or create unique business models for each project, offering creative autonomy to directors and actors. By taking risks and exploring various distribution options, Fremantle has found a way to finance and distribute independent films in a changing industry.
