5. Cloud Eight
Cloud Eight Films is Christian Colson's production company. Besides
"127 Hours” this is a thriller as well. He also has produced "Slumdog
Millionaire" as well as several other films. Cloud Eight Films is based
out of London, England.
We chose to analyse Eight Cloud because it is a UK based film
production and we needed a smaller based production company
because I feel a smaller based company would be suited to what we
are doing.
