Production Companies Research - Focus Features

Focus Features is the speciality films or art house films unit of Universal Pictures. It both produces and distributes it’s own films. It was formed in 2002. They have made films such as Brokeback Mountain (2005), Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011). However the most important and relevant to me and my group is Brick (2005). Brick is a neo noir that we looked at as a template for our own film. Brick is a modern film noir which we wanted ours to be, it is all in colour which ours is and it is set in a school, like ours. I think using Focus Features as a production company for our film will be good idea as they have produced a similar film before.
