Production Companies

A big part of film making is the production company, it is responsible for the fund-raising of the production, or this can often be accomplished through a parent company, partner or private investor. The production company deals with the majority of the film marketing, distribution, scheduling and scripting. A big part in making my film seem as realistic as possible is having a production company that suits the genre of my film.

These are a few production companies that I believe would be suitable for my film:


1. BLUMHOUSE PRODUCTIONS 

• Their previous films consist of Paranormal activity, Sinister, The purge and Ouija
• It is an American horror movie company founded by Jason Blum. They deal with low budget horror films
• The company never spend more that 5 million dollars on the films 
• For Paranormal activity the budget was 15,000 dollar, their profit was 193 million dollars 
• This would be a good company for my film as they mainly deal with supernatural horrors, this is what my film is going to be.

2. DARK CASTLE ENTERTAINMENT

• They are responsible for films such as- Thirteen Ghosts, House of Wax, The Reaping, Orphan and The Summoner
• This company focuses on low-mid budget films, it is responsible for the action and adventure genre, thrillers and comic book, but their main focal point is Horror 
• They are another American film productions label, part of Silver Pictures which is associated with Warner Bros. 
• It is a company formed in 1999 by Joel Silver, Robert Zemeckis and Gilber Adler. 

3. BENDERSPINK 

• Benderspink is a production company created by Chris Bender and J.C Spink
• The films that they have been involved in making are- The Ring, Insanitarium, Kill Theory and The Butterfly Effect 
• They make low budget horror films, most horror films are low budget but it takes a good production company with good marketing strategies to be able to make a larger profit at the box office 

4.  DEL TORO PRODUCTION 

• It is created by Guillermo Del Toro, he is a Mexican film director, producer, screen writer and novel writer. 
• The films he has produced are Mama, The Orphanage, Splice, Van Helsing, Crimson Peak and Frankenstein 
• The company has also been part of gothic horrors such as Pans Labyrinth and The Devils Backbone and other mainstream american horror movies
• This production company may not be as suitable for my movie as the company mainly focuses on a hybrid of horror and fantasy, my movie is supernatural horror, this means that the production company must specialise in horror or supernatural horror 

5. CIRCLE OF CONFUSION 

• They have been involved in: S&Man, Senseless, Vanishing on Seventh Street, Blood of the Innocent, The Kitchen Sink, The Gatekeeper and Driving While dead
• This company does horror but its main focus is on Comedic Horror fare. 

For my production company I have decided to use BLUMHOUSE PRODUCTIONS, this is because they specifically produce horror films, and the films that they have produced previously are  in the supernatural genre of horror. They specialise in low-budget movies, and my film is more likely to be portrayed as a low budget film.
