“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” Academy Award Winner “Contractor” Fox Searchlight’s Ability
A place where you can return to your roots after taking a masterpiece...
Even if the budget is low, the director will produce the work he wants to shoot. This is the spirit of an independent production company, and Searchlight is the go-to company for filmmakers, as it allows them to take on projects that would be unlikely to come to fruition at a major studio.
Marc Webb, who directed the popular Searchlight film `` (500) Days of Summer,'' was later selected to direct the action blockbuster `` The Amazing Spider-Man, '' and even directed the sequel to that movie. However, he returned to Searchlight again with ` `gifted ''. Webb had this to say about his feelings: ``It was impossible for me to express my individuality in a film like ``The Amazing Spider-Man.'' So making another film with Searchlight was about getting back to my roots as a creator.'' Marc Webb confesses that in ``Gifted,'' he was able to incorporate the same attention to detail as ``(500) Days of Summer,'' down to the details such as the music choice.

Although there is a limit to production costs, how many works can be made within that range? That is Searchlight's policy. For this reason, there is always active communication with cutting-edge creators, and ambitious projects are getting closer to reality. A prime example of this is `` Waking Life, '' in which director Richard Linklater used live-action digital painting to create an anime-like image. Alejandro González Iñárritu's filming for `` The Revenant '' was postponed due to heavy snow, so he had free time to shoot ``Birdman.'' Searchlight is also able to provide flexible support. There are many directors who continue to shoot with searchlights, such as Wes Anderson, who always emphasizes his artistry.
