How FilmNation Became the Indie Powerhouse Behind This Year’s Top Oscar Contenders
How FilmNation became the studio and production company behind the top two Oscar contenders for best picture, "Anora" and "Conclave."
FilmNation, the New York-based indie studio, is the common thread linking two of the biggest contenders for best picture — Sean Baker’s “ Anora ” and Edward Berger’s “ Conclave ” — which were then sold to and distributed by Neon and Focus Features, respectively. Kujawski praised FilmNation’s “hyper-attentive level of servicing” in both production and marketing, saying that the company has a unique ability to “bring people into the fold rather than push them out.” Upcoming projects include “The Life of Chuck,” an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel starring Tom Hiddleston and directed by Mike Flanagan, which won the TIFF Audience Award.
