The reason for choosing Film4 to be my chosen production company is because of the success they have made. This is because Film4 has helped develop and co-finaced many UK Independent films, helping them become academy award winners. As well as this, because Film4 Productions has produced and co-financed many films, they then have a wider variety of audiences who watch their films.
