Production company:

New Line Cinema

I have chosen this production company because they are famous for their films which include films of the specific genre I have chosen. Their romance films include films such as 'My Sister's Keeper', 'Valentines Day' and 'The Notebook'. These films are known for their interesting storyline and they way they they have been produced. The films have been successful within the genre and have caused emotions to spill - which is what I want my film to do.
