Touchstone pictures is a division of The Walt Disney Studios that is known for making films with a dark theme, often thrillers. It was founded in 1984 and is based in California, USA. It has produced many films including Armageddon, War Horse and Flight Plan. Touchstone uses Disney's resources for things such as distribution making it a lot easier to access things needed to make the film a success.
Touchstone is a good example for us to follow with films such as Flight Plan as we are considering making a film that is based on terrorism and it also shows an example of a big company's take on a film based on terrorism. We have to consider whether we will produce our film as part of an independent company or as part of a conglomerate and we can use Touchstone as an example of a conglomerates version of a film based on terrorism and compare it to independent films such as Pulp Fiction (Miramax).
Miramax films is an independent film company known for distributing independent or foreign films. It is based in Santa Monica, California and was founded in 1979. It is useful as it provides us with an idea of an independent thriller so we can compare it to a conglomerate's version and see which we would like to be.
A reason that i decided to research Miramax Films is because it produced one of the most successful independent thriller films ever (Pulp Fiction). This is interesting as it shows that you do not have to be part of a conglomerate to produce a successful and presents a case for independent production companies when we are making our decision.
