FILM INDUSTRY RESEARCH: Belstone (smaller)

 Belstone Pictures.

"Trust | Integrity | Loyalty | Passion"


Founded in 2012, Belstone Pictures, an independent UK studio, came about through CEO Finn Cardigan Bruce, an ex Hurtwood House student, now having 1 film in pre-production, 13 film/TV projects in production, and 1 film in post-production. Initially, Finn started working in corporate filming events but has now moved onto motion pictures. Their headquarters are currently located in London.

--

As shown above, Belstone appear to work with Jamie Patterson as a director frequently, however, the cast appear to be 'new' actors and are not used more than once in their films/projects. This is because they are an independent studio and do not have the funds to hire an A-list cast.

Due to the independence of Belstone, a wider variety of film genres/styles are offered to a minority audience and upcoming actors have a chance to be seen. They also have the ability to attack more social and political issues as the films aren't aimed towards a global audience.
