Production Companies

Paramount Pictures 

Paramount Pictures is a film & television, production/ distribution studio and it's said to be one of the largest and top-grossing movie studios in the world. It is also one of the oldest production/ distribution companies in the world and is a member of the Motion Pictures Association of America. Last year, 2012, was the year of the 100th anniversary of Paramount in the show business. 
 'Adolph Zukor, Jesse L. Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille are credited as Paramount's principal founding fathers'.
A rugged, snow-covered peak from the Wasatch mountain range is the famous Paramount Symbol. 



As they became the first nationwide successful film distribution company, they then started to release 2-3 new pictures a week. This was happening between 1916-1921. Soon they became a fully integrated company that controlled every aspect of filmmaking- production, distribution, and exhibition. Paramount went on to producing some of the most successful films ever made in the cinematic history such as: The Godfather, The Godfather 2, Haroldand Maude.

Indie Company
Newmarket Films

Starting off, when talking about Indie Companies I mean, smaller and independent companies. It's much of a smaller concept. They're all in the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers and produce low-budget films. One example I looked at is Newmarket Films.. it is an American film production and distribution company and was founded in 1994. It is a privately owned production and distribution company,and 'Indie Companies' are usually in every case privately owned. Newmarket's aimes are to produce and distribute diverse film and not to focus on the same idea. They're produced films such as The Mexican, Cruel Intentions, Monster, Donnie Darko and God Grew Tired of Us.























I believe that the best production company for our film would be one which is an Indie type of company. Or a similar thing to what was done with 'Ill Manors' or 'Kidulthood'.
