Is it because the director is not a pro, or because it does not hit the box office, or not filmed in studio or what?? Kind of confused because I was looking around on Yahoo movies and couldnt tell what was Indipendant or not.

If it's not released by a major studio.

An independent film (or indie film) is a film initially produced without financing or distribution from a major movie studio. Often, films that receive less than 50% of their budget from major studio are also considered "independent". According to MPAA data, January through March 2005 showed approximately 15% of US domestic box office revenue was from independent or indie studios. Creative, business, and technological reasons have all contributed to the growth of the indie film scene in the late 20th and early 21st century.
And in my opinion independent films are quite good but most of them have a very bad image quality, and they always end in a very bad way.
Peace.

Tonalc is correct...it depends if a major studio releases the film. But one has to be careful. Miramax films were considered "independent", and yet the company was wholly owned by the Disney Corporation. It's a picture that is getting more and more muddled.

If the company behind the film is IFC films, its probably an independent film. However, sometimes, if the movie bombed at the box office, the producers will claim it was an "independent" and cheap film, so that they don't get blamed because no one saw the film.

Independent means that it is made "independent" of the major studios. sometimes big name actors make "indie" films using their own money.

an indi film is not realesed by a major label...hence the term "independant film" because it is paid for and distributed by an independant
