I'm not sure if this will provide you with exactly the information you
need, but a book published a few years ago, titled Off-Hollywood:  The
Making and Marketing of Independent Films, includes case histories of
a number of feature-length films, fiction and documentary both.  Among
them:  The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez; The Good Fight; Hollywood Shuffle;
Return of the Secaucus Seven.  It's from a study commissioned by the
Sundance Institute and the Independent Feature Project (which also
published it before it appeared in a trade edition published by Grove
Weidenfeld in 1990.  The author is David Rosen, with Peter Hamilton.
