Film Institution....

We have decided to be an Independent film institution. Our horror/thriller genre is quite specific and will only be a type of film that certain people will like, it won't be something everyone would like to view. This genre of film may only apply to a niche audience therefore an independent institution. Being an independent film institution makes it easier to maintain that good standard for our opening and so we can focus on the detail and quality of our opening.

E.g. Benderspink
Previous films: The Ring, The Butterfly Effect, Insanitrarium, Kill Theory
Producer: Chris Bender
Producer/manager: J.C. Spink

They've turned their management firm into one of the more successful hybrids, mainly due to their solid judgment about what audiences enjoy. By no means exclusive to the horror genre (summer hit We’re The Millers is one of theirs, as was Monster-In-Law, which some might consider a different kind of horror movie altogether), the company has done well by finding solid remake fare (The Ring), low budget franchise possibilities (there were two straight-to-video Butterfly Effect sequels), and high concept fare (Demeter follows the tale of the 19^th century ship that brought Dracula to England).

One of our inspirations for our genre was The Ring. This was the film that gave us this haunted horror idea and the kind of eerie feel we want to create. This information shows that even the smaller, less known companies still create very successful films and their film institution doesn't put them at a disadvantage.
