Other film institutions research

DreamWorks tend to make films aimed at a younger audience. DreamWorks films include: Shrek and Madagascar. Mostly make animated films, wouldn't suit our film.

In recent years Lionsgate have started to have to join together with bigger companies in order to get the money needed to make films, but they are still making, high grossing films, famous for Hunger Games and Saw. This institution may be relevant to us as they are famous for making horror films such as Saw.

Relativity media at the moment is very low-key, seeming as it was only founded in 2004, and is still growing. Their films include The Social Network and Bridesmaids. To us their film House at the end of the street would apply the most as its a horror film. We will think about using this institution.

Formed in 2005 by the Weinstein Brothers. The Weinstein Company seems  to be aiming to do well in the film industry. Even though they are known for making classical films such as The King's Speech and Django Unchained, they produced Piranha 3D which is a big horror movie. We could consider using this institution.

Revolver entertainment is a film institute that’s originated in the UK. They distribute mainly British films consisting of some variety of film genres. A reasonable percentage of these films that they've distributed are urban/action films including Kidulthood, Anuvahood. Could be argued as its originated in the UK it would appeal to us, but they aren't a known institution for us to have this film globally hit.

MGM has been having financial problems, so haven't really been releasing anything, they tend to make a wide range of films. Most famous MGM film has worked with was James Bond Skyfall, all others are less known. So this institution wouldn't apply to us.

There are more film institutions out there, but they are not accepted as big. The ones mentioned here are the 'official mini-majors', but there are a lot more.
