Why did I choose fox search light pictures?

The reason I chose this institution is because of its uniqueness in terms of context and content as compared to other institutions. Fox search light pictures works on a variety of genres and themes however my main focus was on its production and distribution of films with the genre drama. This institution caters to all sorts of social issues by portraying them in the films. Its production and distribution is very similar to the film that I will be making this year. Which addresses a very important social issue.
