Hollywood independents

TCM kicks off a tribute to some of Hollywood’s most independent spirits on Wednesday with the original documentary “Edge of Outside.” According to the network, “Edge of Outside” “features original interviews with Martin Scorsese, Peter Falk, Ed Burns, Spike Lee, Henry Jaglom, Arthur Penn, Gena Rowlands and John Sayles as well as friends and crew members who worked with classic filmmakers, including Nicholas Ray, John Cassavetes and Sam Peckinpah.” It airs at 7 p.m.

Then, after the documentary, and continuing every Wednesday through July, TCM will show works by filmmaking mavericks from Charlie Chaplin to Robert Altman.
