Can genres be mixed together?

Ben Lyons (Producer) gives expert video advice on: What are the most popular genres? and more...

Independent films don't really get put into an entire box. Sometimes they're a mix of several genres. Independent movies can be funny, they can be moving, they can be thought provoking, all at once. A movie like 'Little Miss Sunshine' has its funny moments, but then it's also very serious and sad, and makes you think about your family, and life. It's dark and it doesn't really fit into one genre. Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is it a romantic kind? What is it? It doesn't really fit into any kind of box.
