 Belstone pictures

Belstone pictures was founded in on 26 Janurary 2012 by Finn Bruce. It is an independent film, development, finance and production company of international films. Finn founded Belstone prior to leaving Hurtwood and his aim was to make films that push the boundaries while telling inspirational stories. 

Belstone's founder, Finn is based in London, where he has done work on set in TV and film, such as, Top Gear, Downton Abbey, X factor and Les Miserables. Following this, he did some work at Blink TV, MPC, Mario Testino and Sky News. Belstone Pictured Ltd. is also based in London.

Belstone is an independent company, which includes finance, production and sales. This would benefit the company as they wouldn't have to employ other people to do these thing as they do them all themselves. However if the film doesn't do very well, they will be more severely effected as the loss of money can't be shared out. In contrast, if the film does well, all of the money will go to Belstone. 

Belstone is mainly known for the films, Tucked (2019), Tank 432 (2015) and Tracks (2019). Therefore being the most successful films that they have released. 

Belstone use the same director for their films, however the actors they use don't seem to be the same. 

Belstone have some films currently being produced. They have 9 in pre production and in development and 7 in production and on release. 

The benefits of a small company are:

- There is not as much backlash if their products don't do as well 

- there is more flexibility
