Hollywood is painting itself into an extremely unforgiving corner—narrowing the window of projects it will greenlight until the type of mid-level budget filmmaking that’s responsible for cinema’s most celebrated modern classics is all but eliminated. More and more independent filmmakers are following in the footsteps of film history’s independent innovators and making great movies on the cheap.

The production of Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop has been halted following star John Cho being injured on set. The sci-fi series follows a mismatched assortment of bounty hunters who crew a starship, accepting work wherever they can to stay free of the violence and corruption that runs rampant the entire Solar System.
