“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”
- JRR Tolkien

Research Into Similar Products/Organisation: Annapurna Pictures

Annapurna Pictures is a film production and distribution company founded by Megan Ellison in 2011. Annapurna also invests in financing, production and sales entity Panorama Media, later renamed Annapurna International.




Filmography similar to my genre:
Her
Joy
American Hustle



Many of the films produced by the company have received widespread critical acclaim. In 2013 alone, Her and American Hustle had a combined fifteen Academy Award nominations. In the box office results have been mixed. While some films such as The Master have failed to gross their budget, films such as Zero Dark Thirty and American Hustle have grossed more than $100 million, the latter grossing more than a quarter of a billion worldwide.

Most of these films are dramas based on relatable characters, and I already took inspiration from the film and trailer 'Her' on the fact it's about an isolated, love sick protagonist unsure on how to proceed with life. Also, I love how the company isn't too weighed down by massive blockbuster names, and that it's filmography isn't absolutely massive, giving way to make more little 'gems' of movies.
