Film institutions.

Task; Research what film institutions are and explain why they are used.

Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, also known as 20th Century Fox, or 20th Century Fox Pictures, is one of the six major American film studios as of 2011. Located in the Century City area of Los Angeles, the studio is currently a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox. They make many different genres including, thrillers, family, comedy. action and adventure. This is just one of many of the major film institutions.

HanWay Films was founded in 1998 by film producer Jeremy Thomas (Chairman), along with his colleagues Peter Watson (Deputy Chairman) and Stephan Mallmann (Chief Operating Officer), who continue to sit on the board. Created as an adjunct to Thomas' Recorded Picture Company, it entered a period of growth when Tim Haslam, previously of Intermedia and Majestic Films, joined the company as CEO in 2003.

HanWay films, named HanWay after Hanway Street in London's Soho, which houses both companies in a building with a Mondrian-style exterior. "HanWay is separate from me, but it has my spirit still," Thomas has said. "I try to make sure everyone working there loves films" 

I think it is symbolic that the company has been named of a london street as it is a basis for their films, representing the culture they are trying to capture through their films. That again is where my inspiration comes from. The streets of East london, and also having living there for  a large part of my life I know how hostile the environment is.

I was also thinking of using Cypher Films, however when I tried researching the company I could not find any information about them other than the movies in which they had produced;

1. All Things to All Men (2013) ... Production Company
2. Adulthood (2008) ... Production Company
3. Kidulthood (2006) ... Production Company
4. Sticks and Stones (2005/I) ... Production Company
5. Nits (2004) ... Production Company

So other than that I couldn't find any information about them. But I already have HanWay films which is fine. Maybe the reason there is very little information about them is because they are not a big company.
