What company would I choose?

I would choose Blumhouse production company because they specialize in the genre of thrillers and horror, and my opening sequence will be a psychological thriller and so I feel that this company will be perfect for my film. Also this compan y has made some brilliant films for example ‘Insidious’ and I know that the films they produce are very popular and will make good profit.
