"There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist," the actor said. "[The studios] give you the money, then get on a plane and come to the set and stick a finger up your ass and chase you around for five months."

Though he had admitted to once having a close relationship with Steven Spielberg, who is a big time studio director himself, LaBeouf admitted that he was not satisfied with the work of his film "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," according to The Huffington Post.

"When I saw the second movie ['Revenge of the Fallen'], I wasn't impressed with what we did," LaBeouf said.

Currently, the actor stars in the film "Lawless," a small-budget film LaBeouf helped produce that comes out over Labor Day weekend. He is also involved in the indie productions "The Company You Keep," directed by Robert Redford, and "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman," according to the Post.  

When speaking of small-budget filmmakers, comparing them to high-end studio production teams, LaBeouf was quick to say, "These dudes are a miracle. They give you the money, and they trust you."
