Production Countries Edit

The production countries field should be used to list the producing countries. They are the countries associated with the movie's production companies.

Please refrain from adding "Funded By" countries.

Filming Location

While they are often the same, the main goal of the field is not to list the countries where the movie was filmed.

Historical Accuracy

Many countries and borders have changed since the beginning of film. When available, please choose the producing country as it was named at the time of production. For example, Soviet Union is added to films originally produced in the Soviet Union (1922–1991). Czech films produced before 1993 typically have Czechoslovakia as their country.

In a similar fashion, United Kingdom is used for content produced by England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For example, production companies based in Belfast are part of the United Kingdom rather than Northern Ireland.

Production Companies Edit

Types of companies

The "Production Companies" field should only be used for the production companies. No distributors.

Only proper production companies. No "Funded by" credits (e.g. Canadian provincial tax credit).

Company Name

The name should always be in Roman script. Adding the original, non-Roman name to the alternative name field will make them easier to find.

The type of company (LLC, Inc., Ltd./Limited, GmbH, S.A., Pvt. Ltd., Pty Ltd, ...) shouldn't be in the company name. The full name can also be added as an alternative.

New Company

As a general rule, a new company page should be created for:

Any newly founded film production companies, including brand new companies, new subsidiaries and new companies created following a merger.

• Exclusive Media (parent) + Spitfire Pictures, Newmarket Films, Hammer Film Productions (subsidiaries)
• Stone Television, Stone Stanley Entertainment, Stone and Company Entertainment
• La Petite Reine, La Petite Reine Production

Companies with headquarters in multiple countries that produce international content.

• Robson Orr Entertainment (US) + Robson Entertainment (UK)

A significant name rebranding.

• Studio 37 → Orange Studio
• Firefly Film and Television Productions → Dragonfly Film and Television Productions
• Yellow Bird Pictures → Lucky Bird Pictures

A new country, including a relocation to a different country and a country who has changed over time due to new geo-political divisions.

• Dovzhenko Film Studios (Soviet Union → Ukraine)
• Goatworks Films: Jonathan Nossiter produced his first few films in the US. He spent a few years in Brazil with his family, and currently lives in Italy.
