Institution: Distribution and Production Companies

Distribution

Some notable films are:

Production

Production companies are accountable for the production of a film. They are responsible for the scripting, scheduling, post production, distributing, marketing and budgeting of a film. Production companies are often in contract with a film studio, who acts as a “parent” company to the production company.

One major production company is Pinewood studios. They often are involved with action-thriller films such as James Bond films, and Superman films.
