Production Companies

Which Production and Distribution company
would be most suitable?

These are some well-known bands' documentaries with who they are produced by. I will use this to help me choose who I will use as my production company as the bands are quite similar.

The Rolling Stones: Stones in Exile


  • Passion Pictures is a film and animation production company based in Rathbone Place, London's West End. 
  • They have been responsible for much of the production of the visual element of the animated rock band Gorillaz.
  • Among their releases is the 2004 documentary on britpop Live forever.
  • Passion Pictures are one of the co-producer's on the film The Age of Stupid released in 2009.
  • Pete Candeland of Passion Pictures also produced the opening and closing cinematics for The Beatles: Rock Band video game, released September 9 of 2009.


The Clash: Westway to the World


  • Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc. (SPE) is the television and film production/distribution unit of Japanese multinational technology and media conglomerate Sony. 
  • Headquartered in Culver City, California, USA, SPE comprises various studios and entertainment brands, including Columbia Pictures and GSN. 
  • It has produced films such as The Karate Kid, Spider Man and Men in Black.


Madonna: Truth or Dare


  • Miramax Films is an American entertainment company known for distributing independent and foreign films. 
  • For its first 14 years the company was privately owned by its founders, Bob and Harvey Weinstein. In 1993, the company was acquired by The Walt Disney Company. 
  • Miramax was sold by Disney to Filmyard Holdings in 2010, ending Disney's involvement with the studio for the first time in 17 years. 
  • Some films produced by them are Hugo the Moviestar, Tom and Jerry the movie and In search of Santa.

I do not think any of these would be suitable for my production as I think the most suitable would be 'Passion Pictures' however because the band is punk, i don't think I could use it because it is pink!
