What makes an independent ski film an independent ski film?

So basicly an independent ski film has no outside help i.e. sponsors donators etc...

I would say:

An independent ski-film could have sponsors, but they wouldn't be listed or profiled anywhere.

Its basically a film that no-ones gains anything from. In theory, you wouldn't even be allowed to list the names of the skiers. But that would be dull.

I must correct myself, ''A film where no one gains anything except the spectators''...

I made my movie entirely on my own. I consider my film an independant film. But on the other hand there is shit like the independant film channel, which is made by teams of people. So who knows.

I wanted to know because I'm just deciding wether or not I can add the title of independent ski film to the video I'm making

The definition to me is 'not having coprorate sponsors/ownership'

For example, Freeskier magazine claims to be an 'independent ski magazine' because, unlike Freeze it is not owned by a larger corporation like transworld. Freeskier obviously does have advertising, etc. But it's ''family owned and operated''
