Co-Production company
I learned from the Film Distributors’ Association 2009/2010 that distributors try to spread the risk and opportunity across different platforms. Production companies have business partners and sister companies to help with funding. Therefore I decided to create my own sister company to show that my company was sharing with a European company to ensure distribution with the European market. The result of this is going to be ‘Ressa Films’ in co-production with ‘Compagnia Colosseo. I decided to create an Italian production company because I felt my thriller would appeal to an Italian audience, and then hopefully this would give my film a strong link to the European market. I chose to use a picture of the colosseum Rome because it is a strong iconic Italian image, and from this I came up with the name of the company. I also finished off the picture by colouring it in with the colours of the Italian flag, to ensure that the viewer knows this is an Italian company.
Excellent creative work to illustrate your observation that many films are co-productions. This ident clearly signals its European/Italian identity and is crisp and classy.
