About
The guiding force of First Look Studios is to act within a consistent, focused and financially responsible filmmaking strategy, one that integrates development, production and distribution into a single sustained process. We see this as a return to the dynamic entrepreneurial agenda the film industry started out with a century ago.
In the current global marketplace, major studio projects are often restricted by multiple corporate loyalties. Personality and the individual voice get lost in answering the disparate and divergent needs of a multi-national enterprise.
By contrast, First Look is a maverick. We are primarily accountable to ourselves. We want an audience looking at films from First Look to know — as Howard Hawks once said — just who made the picture.
Our goal is to support the initial vision of high quality independent filmmakers with creative collaboration at every step of the process. We believe that there is no other company in the contemporary filmmaking arena with First Look’s distinctive combination of innovative agenda and substantial financial footing.
It is hard enough to do good work at any time, harder now in a competitive commercial marketplace. Nevertheless, we firmly believe that our combination of passion, ingenuity and clear-cut honest responsiveness is the best way to ensure results that make a difference.
