Thriller research and planning- Institutions

After completing my research into film institutions, the thriller piece in theory may be best produced by wither an independent film maker or a large film company.

Independent films are films that are made outside of major studios. Some independent films are only shown in a select number of theaters. Many people believe that independent films are creative and more quirky as than major films are they are not mass marketed so they are not made for a specific audience. Also independent films have a much smaller production budgets than larger more major film companies.


An example of a film created by independent film makers is Donnie Darko (2001) directed by Richard Kelly. An example of a large film company would be Dreamworks who produced films such as Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar.

I think that the thriller I am currently planning would be best suited to be produced by a small independent filmmaker as the thriller contains specific topics that wouldn't appeal to a larger general audience and therefore might not be able to handle mass marketing. Also I feel like if the piece was to be produced by an independent filmmaker would allow more creative freedom despite the smaller production budget.
