Studio Canal is a French-based production and distribution company
that owns the third-largest film library in the world. The company is a unit of
the Canal+ Group, owned by Vivendi.
The company was founded in 1988 by Pierre Lescure as a spin-off of the Canal+ pay-TV network. The original function was to focus on French and European productions, but later made strategic deals with American production companies. StudioCanal's most notable productions from its early years include Terminator 2: Judgment Day, JFK, Basic Instinct,Cliffhanger, Under Siege, Free Willy, and the original Stargate movie. In those days, it was known as Le Studio Canal+.
It has strong links to Universal Studios (Studiocanal and Universal Studios were owned by the same company between 2000 and 2004, hence StudioCanal co-produced a fair number of Universal's films).
Other films the company financed include U-571, Bully, and Bridget Jones's Diary.

I think StudioCanal would be a fabulous distributor for 'Marianette' because they tend to distribute, along with the mainstream films, the more independant films such as 'Under The Skin' (distributed it in the UK) and The Hunger Games.
I also like quite a lot of the films they distributed, but I don't see my films as a 'major' film at all, more of an independant, so I think StudioCanal fits the bill rather well, for it's openness to all types of movies.
